5-hydroxytryptophan and Dystonia

5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Dystonia in 5 studies

5-Hydroxytryptophan: The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.
5-hydroxytryptophan : A tryptophan derivative that is tryptophan substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5.

Dystonia: An attitude or posture due to the co-contraction of agonists and antagonist muscles in one region of the body. It most often affects the large axial muscles of the trunk and limb girdles. Conditions which feature persistent or recurrent episodes of dystonia as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as DYSTONIC DISORDERS. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p77)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Classic L-dopa-responsive dystonia is characterized by the triad of dystonia, diurnal fluctuation of signs, and dramatic response of signs to low-dose L-dopa therapy."1.43What Is Not in the Name? Dopa-Responsive Dystonia May Respond to More Than L-Dopa. ( Friedman, JR, 2016)
"As is typical in dopa-responsive dystonia, these patients displayed dramatic improvement with L-dopa/carbidopa therapy."1.43What Is Not in the Name? Dopa-Responsive Dystonia May Respond to More Than L-Dopa. ( Friedman, JR, 2016)
