Ritalin might ease effects of Parkinson's

  PORTLAND — A drug generally used to treat hyperactive children might help people deal with the effects of Parkinson's disease, according to researchers at Oregon Health & Science University.

A high dose of the drug Ritalin seemed to enhance the effects of levadopa (L-dopa), the main drug used to fight the tremors and movement problems of Parkinson's disease, researchers found.

Researchers gave 14 Parkinson's patients L-dopa every two hours, as is common, but occasionally added Ritalin. A dozen of the patients responded to the two-drug combination, but only five responded well to L-dopa alone. The Ritalin also lengthened the effects of the standard drug.

"You could probably give smaller doses (of levadopa) and have the effect last longer," said Dr. John Nutt, the neurologist who led the research.

Nutt cautioned that the study only suggests the benefit. He plans to study whether the benefit continues if patients take Ritalin several times every day.

At least a half-million U.S. residents have Parkinson's. The disease destroys brain cells that produce dopamine, a chemical that sends signals through the brain. The resulting loss of dopamine interferes with normal brain functions, especially those controlling movement.
