Despite promising results from continuous dopaminergic stimulation (CDS)-based treatments, the effectiveness of sustained-release formulations of levodopa remains debated. This meta-analysis aims to assess the effectiveness of CDS-based levodopa treatment in patients with early to mid-stage Parkinson's disease (PD).
Comprehensive searches were performed using PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov. The clinical trials were included to compare CDS-based levodopa treatments with intermittent levodopa (IL) treatment in patients with early to mid-stage PD.
A total of 18 clinical trials involving 2208 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Results showed that CDS-based levodopa treatments were associated with a significant reduction in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) II scores (mean difference (MD) - 0.79, 95% CI - 1.26, - 0.32) and UPDRS III scores (MD - 1.03, 95% CI - 1.98, - 0.08) compared to IL treatments. Additionally, CDS-based treatments increased ON time without troublesome dyskinesia (MD 0.63, 95% CI 0.35, 0.91) and decreased OFF time (MD - 0.60, 95% CI - 1.03, - 0.18). In the subgroup analysis of UPDRS II scores and UPDRS III scores, the MD were - 0.62 (95% CI - 1.27, 0.02) and - 1.20 (95% CI - 4.74, 2.34) for 200 mg and - 1.10 (95% CI - 1.88, - 0.32) and - 1.25 (95% CI - 3.26, 0.76) for a combination of levodopa and other drugs at varying dosages, respectively.
Treatment with CDS-based levodopa offers significant benefits in managing motor symptoms and reducing complications in patients with early to mid-stage PD. These therapies provide a promising alternative to traditional IL treatments, potentially leading to improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
尽管基于持续多巴胺能刺激(CDS)的治疗取得了令人鼓舞的结果,但左旋多巴缓释制剂的有效性仍存在争议。本荟萃分析旨在评估基于CDS的左旋多巴治疗对早中期帕金森病(PD)患者的有效性。
使用PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane图书馆、科学网和ClinicalTrials.gov进行全面检索。纳入临床试验以比较基于CDS的左旋多巴治疗与间歇性左旋多巴(IL)治疗对早中期PD患者的效果。
本荟萃分析共纳入18项涉及2208例患者的临床试验。结果显示,与IL治疗相比,基于CDS的左旋多巴治疗使统一帕金森病评定量表(UPDRS)II评分(平均差(MD)-0.79,95%置信区间-1.26,-0.32)和UPDRS III评分(MD -1.03,95%置信区间-1.98,-0.08)显著降低。此外,基于CDS的治疗增加了无麻烦异动症的“开”期时间(MD 0.63,95%置信区间0.35,0.91)并减少了“关”期时间(MD -0.60,95%置信区间-1.03,-0.18)。在UPDRS II评分和UPDRS III评分的亚组分析中,200mg时MD分别为-0.62(95%置信区间-1.27,0.02)和-1.20(95%置信区间-4.74,2.34),左旋多巴与不同剂量其他药物联合使用时MD分别为-1.10(95%置信区间-1.88,-0.32)和-1.25(95%置信区间-3.26,0.76)。
基于CDS的左旋多巴治疗在管理早中期PD患者的运动症状和减少并发症方面具有显著益处。这些疗法为传统IL治疗提供了有前景的替代方案,可能会改善患者的治疗效果和生活质量。
