Levorotatory Form of 5-Hydroxytryptophan in Friedreich's Ataxia
Arch Neurol 52:456-460, Trouillas,P.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In the active treatment group,a significant decrease of the kinetic score was observed(P=.03),indicating an improvement in coordination.These results demonstrated that the levorotatory form of 5-hydroxytryptophan is able to modify significantly the cerebellar symptoms in patients with Friedreich's ataxia.However,the effect is only partial and not clinically major.
