Memantine Study

This research will study if the drug Memantine (Namenda), which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in Alzheimer's disease, might also improve memory and thinking ability in patients with HD. Memantine is not approved by the FDA for use in HD. However, the FDA has approved the use of Memantine in this study. Men or women aged 18 or older, who have been diagnosed with HD and have current problems with memory or concentration will be eligible to join this study. The study is being done at 3 sites and will involve a total of 72 participants being followed for 6 months.
