valproic acid and Cerebellar Ataxia

valproic acid has been researched along with Cerebellar Ataxia in 10 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

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)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Reversible dystonia may occasionally be precipitated by phenytoin or carbamazepine; asterixis by phenytoin, barbiturates or carbamazepine; and, more commonly, tremor by valproate."4.77Adverse neuropsychiatric effects of anticonvulsant drugs. ( Reynolds, EH; Trimble, MR, 1985)
"Treatment of chronic daily headache/transformed migraine is challenging, especially when it is complicated by overuse of analgesics, triptans, or both."2.70Intravenous valproate sodium in the treatment of daily headache. ( Karpitskiy, VV; Schwartz, TH; Sohn, RS, 2002)
"Carbamazepine (CBZ) was found to be effective in most cases."2.61Epilepsy in patients with EAST syndrome caused by mutation in the KCNJ10. ( Albaradie, R; Alhazmi, R; Alkhaldi, H; Chaudhary, M; Housawi, Y; Mir, A, 2019)
"Even though Epilepsy is a significant clinical issue in ATP1A3 patients, only a minority of publications provide any information about patients' anti-epileptic treatment."1.56ATP1A3-related epilepsy: Report of seven cases and literature-based analysis of treatment response. ( Abicht, A; Biskup, S; Boonsimma, P; Borggraefe, I; Gasser, M; Ittiwut, C; Krenn, M; Kuersten, M; Milenkovic, I; Netbaramee, W; Roser, T; Shotelersuk, V; Srichomthomg, C; Suphapeetiporn, K; Tacke, M; von Stülpnagel, C; Wagner, M; Wechapinan, T; Zimprich, F, 2020)
" The observed cerebellar ataxia might be due to long-term administration of phenytoin."1.35[Case of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy misdiagnosed as simple partial seizure for more than 60 years]. ( Komori, T; Mizoi, Y; Shimazu, K; Sumita, N; Tamura, N; Yamamoto, T, 2009)
