Comparison of Benzhexol and Procyclidine for Tremor in Tremor-Predominant Parkinson's Disease

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare benzhexol and procyclidine for improving tremor in adults with tremor-predominant Parkinson's disease who are taking levodopa. Researchers will compare the two medicines to determine whether benzhexol provides similar improvement in tremor to procyclidine and to assess their side effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either benzhexol or procyclidine in addition to their usual levodopa treatment. Motor symptoms and side effects will be assessed before treatment and at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months.
