    Author: Fernandes CM, Samuel J.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1985 Nov 23; 68(11):806-8. PubMed ID: 4071329.
    Abstract:
    A pilot study with piracetam (Nootropil; UCB) was performed in 5 selected dizzy patients who had a diagnosis of presbyvertigo or vertebrobasilar insufficiency. The study was monitored by assessing the effect of piracetam on the pursuit-tracking system. All patients showed a remarkable improvement in their pursuit tracking, in addition to marked subjective improvement in their vertigo.
