Abstrakt: Drugs employed in symptomatic treatment of the chorea and/or emotional disorder in 117 verified cases of Huntington's disease in New York State are tabulated and analyzed. The effectiveness of oral fluphenazine is reported, and demonstrated in three case reports. Confirming data are now emerging from a co-operative research effort initiated by this unit, coming from all the New York state hospitals with which contact had been made, and at least one mental hospital out of the state.
