Treatment of spasmodic torticollis with amantadine: a double-blind study.
Ten patients with spasmodic torticollis participated in a double-blind crossover trial of amantadine hydrochloride for a period of 2 months each. A further regimen of combined amantadine and haloperidol was tried with three patients after the conclusion of the double-blind trial. There were no therapeutic benefits of either treatment. Half of the patients reported minor side effects that resolved promptly when amantadine was discontinued.[1]References
