There is actually no treatment for the condition of the disease once the symptoms start to appear on the patient's body. The patient will continue to experience mental and physical disablilties for life which makes it even more worse. The various types of medicines which are used will be adminstered but will not reverse the effects of the disease and the degeneration of the nerve cells. Drugs such as Tetrabenazine (Xenazine), tranquillizers like (clonazepam) and anti-psychotic drugs are used to treat the symptoms of the disease.
Hope this helps.
