Is Dysphagia in Multiple System Atrophy Responsive to Levodopa? Results from a Retrospective Study
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Dysphagia remains a major clinical concern in multiple system atrophy (MSA), and so far, lacks relevant treatment options. Objective To systematically assess levodopa‐responsiveness of dysphagia in MSA. Methods 19 MSA‐patients underwent endoscopic swallowing evaluation in Off‐ and On‐state, following an adapted FEES‐levodopa‐test ...
