Article Abstract
Fewer patients receiving initial treatment for PD with pramipexole developed dopaminergic motor complications than with levodopa therapy. Despite supplementation with open-label levodopa in both groups, the levodopa-treated group had a grea ter improvement in total UPDRS compared with the pramipexole group.
