amitriptyline and Meniere Disease

amitriptyline has been researched along with Meniere Disease in 3 studies

Amitriptyline: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.
amitriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5.

Meniere Disease: A disease of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) that is characterized by fluctuating SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; TINNITUS; episodic VERTIGO; and aural fullness. It is the most common form of endolymphatic hydrops.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"It is concluded that MD is associated with headache that can be handicapping, and tricyclic antidepressants with pain alleviating medication is often needed to treat the headache in MD whereas sumatriptan did not alleviate the headache of the non-migraine patients."3.70Headache in Meniere's disease. ( Eklund, S, 1999)
"Medical therapy of Meniere's disease is geared not only toward the differential diagnosis that has led to Meniere's disease and the supportive therapy for the physical manifestations of the disease but also for the psychologic sequelae of the disease such as mild-to-moderate situational depression and even chronic depression."1.31Medical management of Meniere's disease.
