We conducted a randomized placebo controlled trial of topiramate in PD dyskinetic subjects already on amantadine but with continuing dyskinesia. Topiramate or placebo was introduced in blinded fashion with a gradual titration (topiramate 25-150 mg/d) over 6 weeks and then a maintenance period of 8 weeks. The primary outcome of interest was change from baseline to end of study in total Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) score using Intention to Treat analysis.
