Original article Eect of Trihexiphenidyl and Procyclidine for the management of resting tremor

Parkinson’s disease is the main etiology of resting tremor but may also rarely occur in Essential Tremor, Multiple System Atrophy & Progressive Suprneuclear Palsy. Levodopa improves bradykinesia, rigidity and other commonly associated symptoms. When resting tremor is the predominant presenting symptom of Parkinson's disease or when tremor persists despite adequate control of other parkinsonian symptoms with low dosages of levodopa, an anticholinergic agent such as trihexyphenidyl or Procyclidine may be the treatment of choice. �is prospective interventional study was carried out in the department of Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from March, 2014
