Symptomatic respiratory disturbance as a consequence of levodopa (L-dopa) therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) has been described only rarely and may be underrecognized in clinical practice. We report on two patients with PD in whom the introduction or augmentation of L-dopa therapy was associated w

Our objective was to develop parameters for objective ambulatory measurements of levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Twentythree PD patients with mild to severe LID were submitted to a standardized protocol of 1-minute recordings during rest, talking, stress
## Abstract In a placeboβcontrolled, singleβblinded, crossover study, we assessed the effect of βrealβ repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) versus βshamβ rTMS (placebo) on peak dose dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Ten patients with PD and prominent dyskinesias
