tropicamide and Parkinson Disease

tropicamide has been researched along with Parkinson Disease in 3 studies

Tropicamide: One of the MUSCARINIC ANTAGONISTS with pharmacologic action similar to ATROPINE and used mainly as an ophthalmic parasympatholytic or mydriatic.

Parkinson Disease: A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

Trial Outcomes

Percentage Change in Saliva Volume

Saliva volume was measured at baseline and 75 minutes after treatment administration. Volumes were measured by using cotton rolls placed near each Stenton duct and below the tongue for 5 minutes; cotton rolls were centrifuged and the volume of saliva determined. (NCT00761137)
Timeframe: Before and 75 minutes after treatment administration

Interventionpercentage change of saliva volume (Median)
Tropicamide - Placebo-5
Tropicamide - 0.3 mg-27
Tropicamide - 1 mg-33
Tropicamide 3 mg-20

Sialorrhea Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

Saliva buccal assessment was evaluated by an VAS scale before, and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min after treatment administration. Subjects were asked to rate how much saliva they perceived in their buccal cavity on an unmarked 0 to 10 cm line, higher scores meaning greater perceived buccal saliva levels. (NCT00761137)
Timeframe: Before and 120 min after treatment administration

Interventioncm on VAS (Mean)
Tropicamide - Placebo-0.55
Tropicamide - 0.3 mg-1.08
Tropicamide - 1 mg-1.53
Tropicamide 3 mg-0.81
