Placebo Comparator
Patient (active) group
Control (placebo) group
Rotigotine titration up to 16 mg/24 hr Starting dose 2 mg/24 hr up titrate 2 mg weekly to optimal/maximum dose Duration up to 12 weeks The treatment was titrated until optimal dosage (that which patient/ caregiver felt that nocturnal hypokinesia and/or early morning akinesia was adequately controlled) (or patient can not tolerated the side effects such as dyskinesia) All previous dopaminergic medications were not allowed to adjusted during the study period.
Placebo transdermal patch were titration with the same protocol as active group. Duration up to 12 weeks The treatment (placebo patch) was titrated until optimal dosage (that which patient/ caregiver felt that nocturnal hypokinesia and/or early morning akinesia was adequately controlled) (or patient can not tolerated the side effects such as dyskinesia) All previous dopaminergic medications were not allowed to adjusted during the study period.
