cyproheptadine and Injuries, Spinal Cord

cyproheptadine has been researched along with Injuries, Spinal Cord in 14 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.

"The antiserotonergic agent cyproheptadine was evaluated in six patients as a medication for the management of spasticity due either to spinal cord trauma or to multiple sclerosis."5.05Action of cyproheptadine in spastic paraparetic patients. ( Barbeau, H; Bédard, PJ; Richards, CL, 1982)
" Pretreatment with p-chlorophenylalanine, indomethacin, ibuprofen, and nimodipine attenuated the SCEP changes immediately after trauma and resulted in a marked reduction in edema formation, BSCB permeability, and blood flow changes at 5 h."3.71Assessment of spinal cord pathology following trauma using early changes in the spinal cord evoked potentials: a pharmacological and morphological study in the rat. ( Sharma, HS; Winkler, T, 2002)
"Baclofen was associated with minor changes in walking."2.69Effects of drugs on walking after spinal cord injury. ( Barbeau, H; Norman, KE; Pépin, A, 1998)
"In twenty-five SCI subjects, antispasticity effects of three putative antispasticity agents [clonidine (an alpha-2 noradrenergic agonist), cyproheptadine (a 5-HT2 antagonist) and baclofen (a GABA-B agonist)] were tested in terms of changes in leg tone as graded by the Ashworth scale (AS), in terms of the vibratory inhibition of the H-reflex (VII) and in terms of the ability of the knee to swing passively in the pendulum test as quantified by video motion analysis."2.67A comparison of clonidine, cyproheptadine and baclofen in spastic spinal cord injured patients. ( Nance, PW, 1994)
"To evaluate spasticity in a dynamic, voluntary movement such as locomotion, a task-specific approach is essential."1.28A dynamic EMG profile index to quantify muscular activation disorder in spastic paretic gait. ( Barbeau, H; Fung, J, 1989)
