Description

In this episode, Bas and Werner delve into the term ‘motor fluctuations’ which is linked to the long-term experience patients have with Levodopa. They discuss a study by George Cotzias regarding the ‘intermittency in the action of the drug’, what the term ‘wearing off’ stands for and the differences between a short-duration/long-duration response.
