4-aminopyridine and Ataxia

4-aminopyridine has been researched along with Ataxia in 9 studies

Ataxia: Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.

"Episodic ataxia type 2 is an autosomal dominant channelopathy, caused by genetic variants in the voltage-dependent calcium channel a-1 subunit (CACNA1A), which is characterized by intermittent episodes of vertigo and ataxia."5.72The efficacy of combining topiramate and 4-aminopyridine to reduce relapses and interictal progression in two cases of episodic ataxia type 2.

"Previous theories assumed that the beneficial effect of the potassium channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) for patients suffering from downbeat nystagmus (DBN) or episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) is due to an increase of excitability of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PC)."3.77The role of regularity and synchrony of cerebellar Purkinje cells for pathological nystagmus.
