| Abstract: | Calcium channel blockers can act on dopaminergic systems, and some reports suggest that they could be useful for the treatment of several movement disorders. In order to assess the efficacy of nicardipine in tics disorders we performed a prospective open non-controlled study which included 10 previously untreated patients. Our results suggest that nicardipine could be a useful and safe treatment for tics. |
