[edit] Using Nicotine to Treat ADNFLE

There's been research [1] which shows nicotine seems to have an impact in treating ANDFLE. A discussion of this research should probably be included in this article. If I get the time I'll do it myself, but if someone else is feeling motivated, by all means, go for it.

You might want to note first that the study was an N of 1, i.e. there was only 1 person involved and the results are, at best, preliminary. Of course, if you find better studies out there then perhaps nicotine treatment could then be added. It wouldn't be a big surprise that nicotine treats ADNFLE, given the role of nACH receptors in the disorder.--Dpryan (talk) 15:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
