Background Adenosine A 2A receptor antagonists reduce or prevent the development of dyskinesia in animal models of levodopa‐induced dyskinesia. Methods We examined the association between self‐reported intake of the A 2A receptor antagonist caffeine and time to dyskinesia in the Comparison of the Agonist Pramipexole with Levodopa on Motor Complications of Parkinson's Disease ( CALM ‐ PD ) and CALM Cohort extension studies, using a Cox proportional hazards model adjusting for age, baseline Parkinson's severity, site, and initial treatment with pramipexole or levodopa. Results For subjects who consumed >12 ounces of coffee/day, the adjusted hazard ratio for the development of dyskinesia was 0.61 (95% CI , 0.37–1.01) compared with subjects who consumed <4 ounces/day. For subjects who consumed between 4 and 12 ounces/day, the adjusted hazard ratio was 0.73 (95% CI , 0.46–1.15; test for trend, P = .05). Conclusions These results support the possibility that caffeine may reduce the likelihood of developing dyskinesia. © 2013 Movement Disorder Society
