chlorpheniramine and Dystonia

chlorpheniramine has been researched along with Dystonia in 4 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.

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.

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.
