cyproheptadine and Decerebrate Posturing

cyproheptadine has been researched along with Decerebrate Posturing in 8 studies

Cyproheptadine: A serotonin antagonist and a histamine H1 blocker used as antipruritic, appetite stimulant, antiallergic, and for the post-gastrectomy dumping syndrome, etc.
cyproheptadine : The product resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of position 5 of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene with position 4 of 1-methylpiperidine resulting in the formation of a double bond between the two fragments. It is a sedating antihistamine with antimuscarinic and calcium-channel blocking actions. It is used (particularly as the hydrochloride sesquihydrate) for the relief of allergic conditions including rhinitis, conjunctivitis due to inhalant allergens and foods, urticaria and angioedema, and in pruritic skin disorders. Unlike other antihistamines, it is also a seratonin receptor antagonist, making it useful in conditions such as vascular headache and anorexia.

" In this study, we investigated the antinociceptive action of neurotropin in relation to the serotonergic system, a pain inhibitory system, and substance P, a pain transmitter; we also attempted to determine whether it acts at the spinal or supraspinal level in mice."3.67Analgesic mechanism of neurotropin: relation to the serotonergic system and influence of spinal cord transection.
