chlorpheniramine and Cervical Dystonia

chlorpheniramine has been researched along with Cervical Dystonia in 1 studies

Chlorpheniramine: A histamine H1 antagonist used in allergic reactions, hay fever, rhinitis, urticaria, and asthma. It has also been used in veterinary applications. One of the most widely used of the classical antihistaminics, it generally causes less drowsiness and sedation than PROMETHAZINE.
chlorphenamine : A tertiary amino compound that is propylamine which is substituted at position 3 by a pyridin-2-yl group and a p-chlorophenyl group and in which the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen are replaced by methyl groups. A histamine H1 antagonist, it is used to relieve the symptoms of hay fever, rhinitis, urticaria, and asthma.

Cervical Dystonia: A common form of DYSTONIA due to involuntary sustained or spasmodic, repetitive muscle contractions in the neck region. According to the position of the twisted neck and head, cervical dystonia can be categorized as torticollis, laterocollis, retrocollis, and a combination of these abnormal postures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We have investigated the effects of intravenous administration of atropine, benztropine and chlorpheniramine, in comparison to normal saline, in 20 patients with adult-onset focal dystonias (spasmodic torticollis (9), cranial dystonia (6), writer's cramp (5), and have retrospectively reviewed the notes of 78 patients (spasmodic torticollis (38), cranial dystonia (25), writer's cramp (15), who had received chronic oral anticholinergic therapy in varying doses at some time in the past."3.66Anticholinergics in adult-onset focal dystonia.
