We report the results of a double-blind placebo controlled study of bornaprine, an anticholinergic drug, in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. We studied 17 patients presenting persistent tremor in spite of a stable long-term L-Dopa therapy. The bornaprine, in doses of 8 mg/die, compared with placebo significantly improves tremor. Only mild side effects occurred. We think the bornaprine may be of value in the treatment of parkinsonian tremor.
