involuntary movement after brain injury

[fity123r]

hi everyone hope you all are doing good I have a question did anyone on this forum had chorea involuntary movement disorder after a brain injury ?

my husband had a hypoxic brain injury 2yrs ago I'm not going to lie things have improved so much from where he was to where he is but his chorea is slightly getting worse it's not there all the time but when he it is worse he can't talk or sit still his tongue is always moving and mouth which makes it very hard for him to swallow or talk his on medication for it but I don't think the medication is actually working

I had not heard of this specific term for involuntary movement but I can tell you first hand that 6 years on from my brain injury I still have random movements where I choke on food because my swallowing reflex seems to stop working which is scary when I happens. Only time seems to be the thing that seems to make things improve albeit very slow progress but that is better than nothing.

I know that for any kind of dopamine related brain disorder there can be different cocktails of drugs that work together.

What type of medication are they trying for it?
