Levodopa-induced dyskinesia is a common complication in Parkinson disease.
Pathogenic mechanisms include phasic stimulation of dopamine receptors,
nonphysiological levodopa-to-dopamine conversion in serotonergic neurons,
hyperactivity of corticostriatal glutamatergic transmission, and overstimulation
of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on dopamine-releasing axons. Delay in
initiating levodopa is no longer recommended, as dyskinesia development is a
function of disease duration rather than cumulative levodopa exposure. We review
current and in-development treatments for peak-dose dyskinesia but suggest that
improvements in levodopa delivery alone may reduce its future prevalence. Ann
