clonazepam and Blepharospasm-Oromandibular Dyskinesia

clonazepam has been researched along with Blepharospasm-Oromandibular Dyskinesia in 9 studies

Clonazepam: An anticonvulsant used for several types of seizures, including myotonic or atonic seizures, photosensitive epilepsy, and absence seizures, although tolerance may develop. It is seldom effective in generalized tonic-clonic or partial seizures. The mechanism of action appears to involve the enhancement of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID receptor responses.
clonazepam : 1,3-Dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one in which the hydrogens at positions 5 and 7 are substituted by 2-chlorophenyl and nitro groups, respectively. It is used in the treatment of all types of epilepsy and seizures, as well as myoclonus and associated abnormal movements, and panic disorders. However, its use can be limited by the development of tolerance and by sedation.

"Perioral dystonia and treatment effect were assessed by using subjective global and visual analog scales, examiner-based video movement counts and rating scales, and quantitative EMG."1.32Treatment of perioral dystonia with botulinum toxin in 4 cases of Meige's syndrome. ( Bakke, M; Dalager, T; Møller, E; Prytz, S; Regeur, L; Werdelin, LM, 2003)
" Though both blepharospasm and OMD are thought to represent focal dystonia at different body sites, the extent of improvement achieved with these drugs at the dosage employed differed markedly."1.27Meige's syndrome: acute and chronic responses to clonazepan and anticholinergics. ( Giménez-Roldán, S; Hípola, D; Mateo, D, 1984)
