Thirty patients with Parkinson's disease were treated for four weeks with levodopa combined with an inhibitor of extracerebral dopa decarboxylase, L-alpha-methyldopahydrazine (MK 486). The therapeutic results were compared with the effects of treatment of a group of 40 patients with levodopa alone. Patients treated with the combined therapy improved more rapidly, had less nausea and vomiting, and required a much smaller dose of levodopa than patients treated with levodopa by itself.
30名帕金森病患者接受了左旋多巴与脑外多巴脱羧酶抑制剂L-α-甲基多巴肼(MK 486)联合治疗四周。将治疗结果与40名单独使用左旋多巴治疗的患者的疗效进行了比较。联合治疗的患者改善更快,恶心和呕吐更少,并且与单独使用左旋多巴治疗的患者相比,所需的左旋多巴剂量要小得多。
