Effects of intestinal Levodopa infusion on freezing of gait in Parkinson disease

Even though limited by the subjective simple measure of FoG, this study suggests that patients undergoing LCIG infusion maintain a good long-term control of FoG. Pseudo-on-FoG improves in a considerable percentage of patients and OFF-type-FoG remains well controlled with LCIG infusion. Further studies with a larger number of patients and objective measures of FoG are needed to confirm these findings.
