Treatment of cerebellar tremors with carbamazepine: a controlled trial with long-term follow-up.

We studied the effects of carbamazepine (CBZ) (400 and 600 mg per day) in 10 patients with cerebellar tremors in a single-blind manner. All patients improved on a clinical rating scale and by accelerometric recording; there was no improvement with placebo. Our data suggest that CBZ may be a valuable drug in cerebellar tremors.
