## Abstract ## Objective The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid (omegaโ3), on levodopaโinduced dyskinesias (LIDs) in parkinsonian 1โmethylโ4โphenylโ1,2,3,6โtetrahydropyridine (MPTP)โtreated monkeys. ## Methods
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
