amobarbital and Sensation Disorders

amobarbital has been researched along with Sensation Disorders in 3 studies

Amobarbital: A barbiturate with hypnotic and sedative properties (but not antianxiety). Adverse effects are mainly a consequence of dose-related CNS depression and the risk of dependence with continued use is high. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p565)
amobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates that is pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione substituted by a 3-methylbutyl and an ethyl group at position 5. Amobarbital has been shown to exhibit sedative and hypnotic properties.

Sensation Disorders: Disorders of the special senses (i.e., VISION; HEARING; TASTE; and SMELL) or somatosensory system (i.e., afferent components of the PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM).

"Sodium amobarbital decreased spontaneous pain by 73% (vs 46% with lidocaine) and normalized sensory abnormalities at or above the level of injury in 3 patients (as compared to just 1 patient with lidocaine), 2 of whom had transitional zone allodynia/hyperalgesia."9.14Effects of intravenous sodium amobarbital vs lidocaine on pain and sensory abnormalities in patients with spinal cord injury.
