Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Mainstays of therapy include: emergency on-site cooling; intravenous fluids; treating hypoglycemia as needed; intravenous diazepam for seizures or severe cramping or shivering; and hospitalizing if response is slow or atypical."3.70Treatment of suspected heat illness. ( Eichner, ER, 1998)
"Cramps were quite easily induced by volitional exertion and high-frequency stimulation of the peripheral nerves."1.29Muscle cramp as the result of impaired GABA function--an electrophysiological and pharmacological observation. ( Matsuoka, H; Mizoguchi, K; Nishimura, Y; Obi, T; Takatsu, M, 1993)
"Diazepam was used for relief of pain or muscle spasm, or anxiety and sleeplessness associated with these two symptoms, and was considered to be beneficial by 83% of the patients, although use of other drugs confounded this evaluation."1.26Long-term use of diazepam. ( Britt, RH; Conley, FK; Hollister, LE; Shuer, L, 1981)
