TICS IN CHILDREN. CLINICAL RESULT OF THE TREATMENT TIC DISORDERS BY LEVETIRACETAM
Abstract
Tics are one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders in children. Major role in the etiology of the disease plays a lack of work dopaminergic system, which leads to impaired attention, self-control and behavioral inhibition, reduced control of motor activity and the appearance of excessive, uncontrolled movements. Under the influence of levetiracetam, probably there is a change of neurotransmitter systems with stimulation of inhibitory mechanisms, which leads to rapid clinical and neurophysiological effects.
