khellin and Cervical Dystonia

khellin has been researched along with Cervical Dystonia in 4 studies

Khellin: A vasodilator that also has bronchodilatory action. It has been employed in the treatment of angina pectoris, in the treatment of asthma, and in conjunction with ultraviolet light A, has been tried in the treatment of vitiligo. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1024)
khellin : A furanochrome in which the basic tricyclic skeleton is substituted at positions 4 and 9 with methoxy groups and at position 7 with a methyl group. A major constituent of the plant Ammi visnaga it is a herbal folk medicine used for various illnesses, its main effect being as a vasodilator.

Cervical Dystonia: A common form of DYSTONIA due to involuntary sustained or spasmodic, repetitive muscle contractions in the neck region. According to the position of the twisted neck and head, cervical dystonia can be categorized as torticollis, laterocollis, retrocollis, and a combination of these abnormal postures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The syndrome of torticollis, keloids, cryptorchidism and renal dysplasia was described by Goeminne (1968) in a large family, and listed as X-linked incomplete dominant by McKusick (1978; No."1.26Gene mapping and serendipity. The locus for torticollis, keloids, cryptorchidism and renal dysplasia (31430, Mckusick) is at Xq28, distal to the G6PD locus. ( Fraccaro, M; Zuffardi, O, 1982)
