baclofen and Status Epilepticus

baclofen has been researched along with Status Epilepticus in 12 studies

Status Epilepticus: A prolonged seizure or seizures repeated frequently enough to prevent recovery between episodes occurring over a period of 20-30 minutes. The most common subtype is generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus, a potentially fatal condition associated with neuronal injury and respiratory and metabolic dysfunction. Nonconvulsive forms include petit mal status and complex partial status, which may manifest as behavioral disturbances. Simple partial status epilepticus consists of persistent motor, sensory, or autonomic seizures that do not impair cognition (see also EPILEPSIA PARTIALIS CONTINUA). Subclinical status epilepticus generally refers to seizures occurring in an unresponsive or comatose individual in the absence of overt signs of seizure activity. (From N Engl J Med 1998 Apr 2;338(14):970-6; Neurologia 1997 Dec;12 Suppl 6:25-30)

Research Excerpts

"The present case demonstrates the importance of considering baclofen overdosage in cases of severe coma in combination with an abnormal EEG pattern and sinus bradycardia with normal blood pressure levels, in particular as the substance is popular in internet reports promoting baclofen as a rather harmless "fun drug."7.78Baclofen intoxication: a "fun drug" causing deep coma and nonconvulsive status epilepticus--a case report and review of the literature.
