A double blind trial of bromocriptine in the Rett syndrome.

Abstract:

:Ten girls affected by the Rett syndrome (RS) were treated with bromocriptine in a double blind trial. Two girls showed considerable improvements in gross and fine motor development, in cognitive and social activities, and in their autonomy after four months of treatment. Minimal improvements were seen in one girl, but the others showed no positive change.
