fentanyl and Myoclonic Jerk

fentanyl has been researched along with Myoclonic Jerk in 22 studies

Fentanyl: A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1078)
fentanyl : A monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of the aryl amino group of N-phenyl-1-(2-phenylethyl)piperidin-4-amine with propanoic acid.

"To compare the incidence and severity of pain and myoclonus, 83 patients, premedicated with oral diazepam, received a double-blind intravenous injection of either droperidol 5 mg, fentanyl 0."9.05Pain and myoclonus during induction with etomidate. A double-blind, controlled evaluation of the influence of droperidol and fentanyl. ( Adam, AA; Giezen, J; Helmers, JH, 1981)

"The results of this study suggest that (a) etomidate is much safer than propofol for first-trimester surgical abortions and (b) using a lower dose of etomidate, supplemented with fentanyl and midazolam, is more beneficial than the use of etomidate with or without fentanyl in reducing adverse effects like myoclonus and postoperative nausea and vomiting."5.17A comparison of anesthetic regimens using etomidate and propofol in patients undergoing first-trimester abortions: double-blind, randomized clinical trial of safety and efficacy. ( Chu, S; Deng, F; Wu, J; Wu, Z; Xia, G; Yao, S, 2013)

A double-blind, controlled evaluation of the influence of droperidol and fentanyl. ( Adam, AA; Giezen, J; Helmers, JH, 1981)
" Patients in whom anesthesia was induced with etomidate had a greater incidence of pain on injection and myoclonus and a lesser incidence of apnea than patients in whom anesthesia was induced with thiopental."5.05Etomidate versus thiopental for induction of anesthesia. ( Giese, JL; Nelissen, RH; Pace, NL; Stanley, TH; Stockham, RJ, 1985)

"The incidence of myoclonus was significantly lower in the nalmefene group (8."3.30Low-dose nalmefene pretreatment reduces etomidate-induced myoclonus: A randomized, double-blind controlled trial. ( Cao, H; Dai, F; Liu, Y; Lu, H; Shan, G; Yin, D, 2023)
" The dosage of anesthetic medications administered was also recorded for each patient."2.73Metoclopramide does not influence the frequency of propofol-induced spontaneous movements. ( Ahmed, SA; Herazo, L; Iyer, C; Joshi, GP; Lenkovsky, F; Markin, V; Robertson, BD; Ross, L, 2007)
"We describe a case of myoclonus secondary to withdrawal from transdermal fentanyl."2.41Myoclonus secondary to withdrawal from transdermal fentanyl: case report and literature review. ( Abu-Elmagd, K; Arnold, R; Bond, G; Han, PK; Janson, D, 2002)
"To evaluate the incidence of myoclonus (involuntary movements during anaesthesia, unrelated to inadequate hypnosis or analgesia, and of sufficient severity to require treatment) in dogs anaesthetized with a TIVA of propofol with or without the use of fentanyl."1.42The incidence of spontaneous movements (myoclonus) in dogs undergoing total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol. ( Cattai, A; Franci, P; Natale, V; Rabozzi, R, 2015)
"Study results showed that myoclonus incidence was 85%, 40%, 70%, and 25% in Group NP, Group F, Group M, and Group FM, respectively, and were significantly lower in Group F and Group FM."1.40Prevention of etomidate-induced myoclonus: which is superior: Fentanyl, midazolam, or a combination? A Retrospective comparative study. ( Akkoc, I; Gül, YG; Inal, FY; Isitemiz, I; Toptaş, M; Uzman, S; Vahapoglu, A, 2014)
"Pruritus was not associated to any factor."1.39Orphan symptoms in advanced cancer patients followed at home. ( Adile, C; Aielli, F; Casuccio, A; Fusco, F; Mercadante, S; Porzio, G; Valle, A, 2013)
" The etomidate dosage chosen more often gave an immediate satisfactory sleep."1.26A comparative study of etomidate and methohexital as induction agents for analgesic anesthesia. ( Bastenier-Geens, J; Dubois-Primo, J; Genicot, C; Rucquoi, M, 1976)
