ethosuximide and Myoclonic Jerk

ethosuximide has been researched along with Myoclonic Jerk in 14 studies

Ethosuximide: An anticonvulsant especially useful in the treatment of absence seizures unaccompanied by other types of seizures.
ethosuximide : A dicarboximide that is pyrrolidine-2,5-dione in which the hydrogens at position 3 are substituted by one methyl and one ethyl group. An antiepileptic, it is used in the treatment of absence seizures and may be used for myoclonic seizures, but is ineffective against tonic-clonic seizures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The patient's seizures were exacerbated by carbamazepine, zonisamide, and valproate, but completely controlled by ethosuximide, and were suggested to have some relation with thalamocortical oscillation mechanisms."3.70A case of epileptic negative myoclonus: therapeutic considerations. ( Mitsuyoshi, I; Shirasaka, Y, 1999)
" Following treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), the patient developed several rare complications: after beginning therapy with phenytoin, the patient developed pseudolymphoma; after monotherapy with carbamazepine (CBZ), the patient thereafter developed myoclonic jerks of upper and lower limbs upon awakening; after one year of treatment with valproate (VPA) the patient developed clinical and immuno-haematological signs of SLE."3.69Clinical case report: multiple idiosyncratic adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs in trisomy 9p. ( Diomedi, M; Gigli, GL; Masala, C; Placidi, F; Pomponi, MG; Scalise, A; Silvestri, G, 1996)
"Senegalese baboons (Papio papio), with a natural syndrome of photosensitive epilepsy, consistently show generalized myoclonic jerks if stimulated stroboscopically at hourly intervals, two to eight hours after the intravenous administration of allylglycine, 200 mg/kg."3.65A primate model for testing anticonvulsant drugs. ( Horton, RW; Meldrum, BS; Toseland, PA, 1975)
"Carbamazepine was administered to eight patients, none of whom improved."2.69Dramatic effect of ethosuximide on epileptic negative myoclonus: implications for the neurophysiological mechanism. ( Hara, M; Oguni, H; Osawa, M; Sunahara, M; Tanaka, T; Uehara, T, 1998)
"Epileptic negative myoclonus disappeared in all patients 15 to 30 days after ethosuximide was started."1.30Ethosuximide is effective in the treatment of epileptic negative myoclonus in childhood partial epilepsy. ( Beccaria, F; Capovilla, G; Meletti, S; Rubboli, G; Tassinari, CA; Veggiotti, P, 1999)
