chlorpromazine and Dystonia

chlorpromazine has been researched along with Dystonia in 24 studies

Chlorpromazine: The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.
chlorpromazine : A substituted phenothiazine in which the ring nitrogen at position 10 is attached to C-3 of an N,N-dimethylpropanamine moiety.

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. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p77)

( Lew, TY; Tollefson, G, 1983)
"Our results did not lend strong support to the view that the genetic variation of the DRD2 gene plays a major role in the individually variable adverse effect induced by chlorpromazine, at least in Chinese patients with schizophrenia."3.73Association of DRD2 polymorphisms and chlorpromazine-induced extrapyramidal syndrome in Chinese schizophrenic patients. ( Feng, GY; Gao, R; Gu, NF; He, L; Li, HF; Shen, YF; Wu, SN; Xing, QH, 2006)
"It has been reported that intraventricular injection of chlorpromazine methiodide (CPZMI), a quaternary ammonium derivative of chlorpromazine, in rats induces abnormal, twisting postures which may serve as an experimental model of the human movement disorder dystonia."3.66Electroencephalographic studies of chlorpromazine methiodide and somatostatin-induced barrel rotation in rats. ( Burke, RE; Fahn, S, 1983)
"A case of myxoedema coma is reported where the administration of chlorpromazine resulted in a prolonged dystonic reaction."3.66Prolonged dystonic reaction to chlorpromazine in myxoedema coma. ( Waters, AK; Wood, GM, 1980)
"Acute dystonia can also be reliably induced in many primate species by neuroleptic treatment with comparable time course, symptomatology and pharmacological characteristics to those observed in man."2.37Acute dystonia induced by neuroleptic drugs. ( Jenner, P; Marsden, CD; Rupniak, NM, 1986)
"Most cases of acute dystonia are mild and easy to manage; nevertheless, some of them can be fatal because of the involvement of certain muscle groups such as the laryngeal muscles, thus requiring urgent intervention."1.39Is acute dystonia an emergency? Sometimes, it really is! ( Cizmeci, MN; Derinoz, O; Havali, C; Kanburoglu, MK, 2013)
" Data were analyzed to determine the effect of anticholinergic prophylaxis, age, sex, and type and dosage of neuroleptic on the incidence of dystonic reactions."1.27Anticholinergic agents for prophylaxis of neuroleptic-induced dystonic reactions: a prospective study. ( Heiser, JF; Morrison, RL; Simpson, GM; Sramek, JJ, 1986)
"Torsion dystonia in 13-year-old girl progressed to severe opisthotonus and dystonic posturing of the limbs, accompanied by severe psychic changes, cachexia and calcification around joints."1.26Torsion dystonia: a case with delayed remission following thalamotomy and phenothiazine therapy.
