Caffeine Use in Huntington’s Disease: A Single Center Survey
Participants with Huntington's disease (HD) had increased caffeine intake compared to the general population, supporting previous anecdotal observations. Anxiety was the most affected HD symptom. Further research using objective measures of symptom burden and including multiple HD centers can help inform screening and counseling regarding caffeine use in this population.
