memantine and Tremor

memantine has been researched along with Tremor in 9 studies

Tremor: Cyclical movement of a body part that can represent either a physiologic process or a manifestation of disease. Intention or action tremor, a common manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES, is aggravated by movement. In contrast, resting tremor is maximal when there is no attempt at voluntary movement, and occurs as a relatively frequent manifestation of PARKINSON DISEASE.

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)
