A double‐blind crossover pilot study was carried out in six patients with Parkinson's disease in order to test the possible therapeutic effect of L‐vasopressin after treatment for 1 month with 30 I.U. intranasally daily. The investigation was completed in five cases. No effect was noticed after LVP treatment.
