Clinical evaluation of the effect of calcium-channel blockers on verbal learning.
The effect of verapamil and nimodipine on verbal learning was evaluated in a double-blind clinical trial. Thirty-seven healthy volunteers were distributed in three groups to receive a treatment with nimodipine, verapamil or placebo. Neither verapamil nor nimodipine modifies verbal learning as measured by the selective remembering test of Buschke and Fuld.
