Title: Dramatic favorable responses of children with learning
disabilities or dyslexia and attention deficit disorder to
antimotion sickness medications: four case reports.
Author: Harold N. Levinson
Author's Abstract: COPYRIGHT Perceptual and Motor Skills 1991
Responses of four learning disabled children who showed dramatic improvements
to one or more antimotion-sickness-antihistamines and -stimulants are
described qualitatively. These cases were selected from a prior quantitative
study in which three antihistamines (meclizine, cyclizine, dimenhydrinate) and
three stimulants (pemoline, methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine) were tested in
variable combinations (using a specific clinical method) for favorable
responses by 100 children characterized by diagnostic evidence of learning
disabilities and cerebellar-vestibular dysfunctioning. Pending validation in
double-blind controlled studies, these qualitative results suggest that the
"cerebellar-vestibular (CV) stabilizing" antimotion-sickness medications,
Piracetam included, and their combinations may be shown to be therapeutically
useful in treating children with learning disabilities or dyslexia and
attention deficit disorder.
