| | CHEST: Respiratory dyskinesia: an underrecognized phenomenon |
| | Respiratory dyskinesia is an irregular, tachypneic pattern of breathing due to involvement of the respiratory muscles by tardive dyskinesia. | | | The hyperkinetic movements in tardive dyskinesia most commonly consist of stereotypy or dystonia and usually affect the face, tongue, and neck.[1] The limbs and trunk are less commonly involved. | | | Of these sequelae, tardive dyskinesia is perhaps the most feared, due to its often dramatic and disabling presentation as well as its frequent irreversibility. |

| | In a double-blind placebo controlled trial, the efficacy of Vitamin E in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) was studied in 32 patients. | | | METHOD: Twenty-eight patients with tardive dyskinesia were treated in a double-blind, parallel-group comparison study of 8-12 weeks of treatment with vitamin E (1600 IU/day) or matching placebo capsules. | | | In tardive dyskinesia four clinical trials (double-blind, placebo-controlled) showed improvement in the symptoms with vitamin E in doses of up to 1,600 IU/day. |

| | Tardive Dyskinesia - For those suffering from Neuroleptics and Antipsychotics |
| | Tardive Dyskinesia was first brought to the attention of the medical community by a psychiatrist George Crane in 1973 after he had been witnessing Tardive Dyskinesia cases in neuroleptic patients. | | | Tardive Dyskinesia and the use of antipsychotic (neuroleptic) medication have been so controversial because the high number of neuroleptic medication choices and the many patients still unaware that there is a Tardive Dyskinesia risk. | | | Tardive Dyskinesia symptoms exist not only in physical movements but there are also psychosocial and physical impairments caused as a result. |

| | Drug-induced and Tardive Movement Disorders |
| | Other drug-induced movement disorders including tardive dyskinesia, akathisia (a subjective sensation of restlessness) or myoclonus may accompany tardive dystonia, and have led many researchers to classify tardive dystonia as a variant of tardive dyskinesia, Unlike tardive dyskinesia, tardive dystonia is seen in children as well as adults. | | | Involuntary movements, including tremor, chorea, athetosis, dyskinesias, dystonia, myoclonus, tics, ballismus and akathisia, may be symptoms of primary neurologic disease or occur secondary to pharmacotherapy (Table 1). | | | Most of our understanding of the pathophysiology of movement disorders has developed from clinical observations of response to pharmacotherapy.[5] Tardive syndromes appear to originate from drug effects on the striatal dopaminergic system. |

| | eMedicine - Dystonia, Tardive : Article by Perla Periut, MD |
| | In 1988, Burke and Kang suggested that tardive dystonia is distinguished from the classic oral-buccal-lingual choreic form of tardive dyskinesia not only by the dystonic nature of the involuntary movements but also by the frequency with which it causes significant neurologic disability. | | | The current model used to explain the mechanism underlying tardive dyskinesia is the supersensitivity of the postsynaptic dopamine striatal receptors resulting from the long-term administration of dopamine receptor–blocking agents. | | | Tardive akathisia, characterized by subjective and motor restlessness, is present in 31% of patients with tardive dystonia. |

| | In one study it was found 34% of tardive akathisia occurred within one year and two-thirds of these patients had persistent tardive dyskinesia at a mean follow-up of 4.2 years. | | | The pharmacology of tardive vs. acute akathisia is clearly different, with tardive akathisia often behaving like tardive stereotypy. | | | The pharmacological substrates for tardive dystonia is different than that in tardive stereotypy as anticholinergics often benefit these patients (45%). |

| | Given the assumption that deanol is an acetylcholine precursor and that it might thus enhance the cholinergic neurotransmitter system, deanol has been used in numerous trials investigating it as a possible treatment for tardive dyskinesia. | | | Results with deanol in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia are mostly negative. | | | Deanol or dimethylaminoethanol is presently marketed as a dietary supplement, but at one time it was used as a drug for the treatment of hyperactivity in children and was also used for such conditions as neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia. |

| | The cause of tardive dyskinesia appears to be related to damage — due to the use of antipsychotic medications — to the system that uses and processes the neurotransmitter dopamine. | | | Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements. | | | Tardive dyskinesia most commonly occurs in patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other psychiatric conditions who are given antipsychotic medication, but it can occur in other patients who are treated with these drugs. |

| | Neuroleptics, psychiatric drug hazards and tardive dyskinesia by Peter R. Breggin, MD |
| | The basal ganglia, which are afflicted in tardive dyskinesia, are richly interconnected with the higher centres of the brain, so that their dysfunction almost inevitably leads to disturbances in cognitive processes (for the functional neuroanatomy, see Alheid et al., 1990). | | | In long-term studies, the prevalence of tardive dyskinesia often exceeds 50 per cent of all treated patients and is probably much higher. | | | There are probably a million or more tardive dyskinesia patients in the United States today, and tens of millions have been afflicted throughout the world since the inception of neuroleptic treatment (Breggin, 1991). |
