Pharmacologic trials in the treatment of cerebellar tremor

Arch Neurol. 1984 Mar;41(3):280-1. doi: 10.1001/archneur.1984.04050150058017.

Abstract

We studied the effect of long-term administration of propranolol hydrochloride and isoniazid and the acute action of ethyl alcohol on cerebellar tremor in patients with multiple sclerosis and primary cerebellar degeneration in a placebo-controlled double-blind crossover test. None of the drugs decreased the severity of either static or kinetic cerebellar tremors.
