Assessment

Primary outcomes

prescribe CPZ 5mg andLDOPA 50mg per day and schedule a check up in two weeks. Two weeks after the clinical trial begins , we evaluate the symptoms and side effects. At that time, 5mg of CPZ and 100mg of LDOPA will be prescribed. The patient will then be asked to return for a follow up visit two weeks later.
Four weeks after the clinical trial begins, we will evaluate the symptoms and side effects. At that time, 115 mg of CPZ and 150 mg of LDOPA willbe prescribed. The patient will then be asked to return for a follow-up visit two weeks later. After eight weeks from the start of the clinical trial, symptoms and side effects will be evaluated, and the trial will be terminated. Patients will then transition to standard treatment. If the patient wishes, we will continue the same treatment.
