Involuntary movements--or dyskinesias--are a debilitating complication of levodopa therapy for Parkinson's disease, and is experienced in most patients. Despite the importance of this problem, little was known about the cause of dyskinesia until recently; however, this situation has changed significantly in the past few years. Our increased understanding of levodopa-induced dyskinesia is not only valuable for improving patient care, but also in providing us with new insights into the functional organization of the basal ganglia and motor systems.
非自主运动——即运动障碍——是帕金森病左旋多巴治疗中一种使人衰弱的并发症,大多数患者都会出现。尽管这个问题很重要,但直到最近人们对运动障碍的病因仍知之甚少;然而,在过去几年中这种情况发生了显著变化。我们对左旋多巴诱发的运动障碍有了更多了解,这不仅对改善患者护理很有价值,而且还为我们深入了解基底神经节和运动系统的功能组织提供了新的见解。
