Abstract
Sixteen patients with tardive dyskinesia were treated with vitamin E i n an open trial of on-off-on design. Abnormal involuntary movement sca le (AIMS) ratings were performed in every phase of the study. The pati ents exhibited a significant reduction in their mean AIMS score during vitamin E treatment. Thus, this finding may suggest a possible role f or vitamin E in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
