amantadine and Basal Ganglia Diseases

amantadine has been researched along with Basal Ganglia Diseases in 38 studies

amant: an antiviral compound consisting of an adamantane derivative chemically linked to a water-solube polyanioic matrix; structure in first source

Basal Ganglia Diseases: Diseases of the BASAL GANGLIA including the PUTAMEN; GLOBUS PALLIDUS; claustrum; AMYGDALA; and CAUDATE NUCLEUS. DYSKINESIAS (most notably involuntary movements and alterations of the rate of movement) represent the primary clinical manifestations of these disorders. Common etiologies include CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS; NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES; and CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA.

Trial Outcomes

Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)

The Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a 10 item scale for assessing the severity of depression. Items are rated on a scale of 0 to 6, so the maximum score is 60 and the minimum is 0, where 60 is the most severe depression. Scores of 18 or greater are generally considered to indicate a moderate level of depression. (NCT00086307)
