clonidine and Hypermyotonia

clonidine has been researched along with Hypermyotonia in 4 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

"Tizanidine is a centrally acting alpha-2 adrenoreceptor agonist widely used in the treatment of spasticity in patients with cerebral or spinal injury, and it is causing drawsiness in some of them."2.71[Effects of tizanidine for refractory sleep disturbance in disabled children with spastic quadriplegia]. ( Cho, K; Fujieda, K; Fukuda, I; Miyamoto, A; Oka, R; Tanaka, H, 2004)
" The average dosage at 4 weeks was 25."2.70Prospective assessment of tizanidine for spasticity due to acquired brain injury. ( Brunner, RM; Guin-Renfroe, S; Johnson, A; Meythaler, JM, 2001)
"Severe muscle hypertonia in patients with the mixed type of tetraplegia may be associated with significant deterioration in the quality of life of the patients."1.42[Effectiveness of continuous infusion of tizanidine (Ternelin) via a feeding tube for patients with the mixed type of tetraplegia]. ( Fujii, T; Hayasi, A; Hiejima, I; Kumada, T; Miyajima, T; Nozaki, F, 2015)
"Significant improvement in spastic hypertonia was observed in all three cases."1.29Effect of transdermal clonidine on spinal spasticity. A case series. ( Sipski, ML; Yablon, SA, 1993)
