memantine and Ataxia

memantine has been researched along with Ataxia in 10 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.

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Executive Functioning as Measured by the Behavioral Dyscontrol Scale II (BDS-II)

The BDS-II is a 9-item, 27-point instrument that measures executive function as the capacity for behavioral and attentional self-regulation. Total score is a sum of the 9 items, with a range of 0-27, in which a higher score indicates a better performance. (NCT00584948)

Change From Baseline in Intention Tremor as Measured by the CATSYS Tremor Scale

The CATSYS is a set of computer assisted diagnostic instruments that can measure intention tremor, postural tremor, postural sway, manual coordination and reaction time. The tremor intensity is defined as the root mean square of accelerations, recorded in the 0.9 Hz to 15.0 Hz band during the test period. Unit is measured in m/s2 (NCT00584948)
