Abstract
Calcium channel blockers can act on dopaminergic systems, and some rep orts suggest that they could be useful for the treatment of several mo vement disorders. In order to assess the efficacy of nicardipine in ti es disorders we performed a prospective open non-controlled study whic h included 10 previously untreated patients. Our results suggest that nicardipine could be a useful and safe treatment for tics.
