4-aminopyridine and Paraplegia

4-aminopyridine has been researched along with Paraplegia in 4 studies

Paraplegia: Severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. This condition is most often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, although BRAIN DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause bilateral leg weakness.

"A Phase I trial of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) was carried out in 39 dogs referred to the veterinary teaching hospital with naturally occurring traumatic paraplegia or paraparesis."5.07The effects of 4-aminopyridine on neurological deficits in chronic cases of traumatic spinal cord injury in dogs: a phase I clinical trial. ( Bauer, MS; Blight, AR; Toombs, JP; Widmer, WR, 1991)
" A statistically significant difference in the initial rate and extent of absorption, but not in total 4-AP bioavailability over the 12-hour study period, was evident between tetraplegic patients, 0."2.69Absorption characteristics of sustained-release 4-aminopyridine (fampridine SR) in patients with chronic spinal cord injury.
