S L Davies et al. Drug News Perspect. 2006 Nov.

Abstract

This month's Spotlight on... focuses on the current clinical development of the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We highlight the experimental rationale behind its progress into patient cohorts with regards to targeting three currently untreatable aspects of human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: cramps, spasticity and disease progression.
