piracetam and Cerebellar Ataxia

piracetam has been researched along with Cerebellar Ataxia in 4 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

Cerebellar Ataxia: Incoordination of voluntary movements that occur as a manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES. Characteristic features include a tendency for limb movements to overshoot or undershoot a target (dysmetria), a tremor that occurs during attempted movements (intention TREMOR), impaired force and rhythm of diadochokinesis (rapidly alternating movements), and GAIT ATAXIA. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p90)
