Treatment of hyperkinesis in Huntingtons disease
Huntington disease (HD) is characterized by a classical triad of motor, psychiatric, and cognitive symptoms in combina tion with several additional clinical features (such as weight loss or autonomic dysfunction). Various hyperkinetic movement dis orders represent basic motor manifestations of HD. They include, mainly, chorea and dystonia; occasionally, some other hyper kinesias (myoclunis, tics, etc.) may be seen. This paper touches upon current approached to pharmacological and non-pharma cological management of hyperkinetic movement disorders in patients with HD.
