[Functional brain activity in patients with Parkinson's disease during amantadin-sulfate therapy].

An investigation of bioelectrical brain activity in 32 patients with akinetic-rigid and trembling-rigid forms of Parkinson's disease was conducted before and after treatment with amantadin-sulfate on the basis of spectral-coherent EEG analysis. Comparing to controls, EEG deviations, mainly related to the main rhythm, were observed in 93.75% patients. Symptoms stabilization augmented EEG disorganization emerging in diffused spikes and sharp theta- and alpha-waves. The presence of paroxysmal activity in the form of synchronic bilateral groups of theta-waves and/or beta-waves was detected in 11 out of 32 patients, with paroxysmal activity of theta-waves being more evident in patients with a trembling PD form. In the group of patients with post treatment positive dynamics, EEG spectrum power increased in the range of alpha-beta-waves. Significant differences were mainly found in the range of beta-activity in frontal-parietal-occipital leads of the left hemisphere. The coherent analysis of EEG revealed that an amantadin-sulfate course resulted in normalization of space organization of biopotentials at the expense of a decrease of pathologically high indications of coherency for the majority of intra- and interhemisphere pairs of leads in alpha-, beta- and theta-ranges. In those regions, where the spectrum power increased in the same range, a significant decrease of the coherency indices was detected for inter hemispheric frontal-frontal, frontal-parietal and frontal-occipital leads and intracortical long connections of the left hemisphere. In amantadin-sulfate non-responders, the changes of EEG spectrum and coherency were insignificant.
