Treatment of subcutaneous nodules after infusion of apomorphine; a biopsy-controlled study comparing 4 frequently used therapies.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to provide clinical evidence for existing treatments of subcutaneous nodules after subcutaneous infusion of apomorphine, using a biopsy-controlled prospective crossover design of four treatments. We demonstrated that dilution of apomorphine significantly improved patient satisfaction, while subcutaneous hydrocortisone reduced nodule size, however with no differences in the histopathology.
