Abstract
Sixteen patients with cerebellar degeneration were treated with oral choline chloride for six weeks at doses of 3 and 6 g daily. Two patients improved with choline but another four improved with placebo. Choline chloride in a dose of 3-6 g daily is no better than placebo in improving ataxia due to cerebellar degeneration.Keywords
