Abstract
Cognitive and extrapyramidal effects of cholinomimetic therapy were evaluated in 8 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy. Each was randomized to a 10-day double-blind crossover trial of physostigmine and placebo. Physostigmine treatment was associated with marginal and inconsistent changes in long-term memory, suggesting that cholinergic therapy alone is insufficient to restore cognitive function. Motor scores remained unchanged.Entities:
