What is the treatment for huntington's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No cures: There is no cure for huntington's disease. There are treatments for some of the symptoms. For example, medications that block Dopamine are used to reduce abnormal movements. There is some evidence that co-enzyme q10 may slightly slow the disease, but this is not proven. Treatments are also used for depression and other psychiatric symptoms.
