melatonin and Optic Neuritis

melatonin has been researched along with Optic Neuritis in 6 studies

Optic Neuritis: Inflammation of the optic nerve. Commonly associated conditions include autoimmune disorders such as MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, infections, and granulomatous diseases. Clinical features include retro-orbital pain that is aggravated by eye movement, loss of color vision, and contrast sensitivity that may progress to severe visual loss, an afferent pupillary defect (Marcus-Gunn pupil), and in some instances optic disc hyperemia and swelling. Inflammation may occur in the portion of the nerve within the globe (neuropapillitis or anterior optic neuritis) or the portion behind the globe (retrobulbar neuritis or posterior optic neuritis).

"Melatonin is an efficient antioxidant and antinitridergic, and has the ability to reduce prostaglandin and tumor necrosis factor levels both in the retina and optic nerve."2.55Melatonin as a Therapeutic Resource for Inflammatory Visual Diseases.

"Melatonin is a chronobiotic agent able to regulate the circadian system."1.62Chronobiotic effect of melatonin in experimental optic neuritis. ( Altschuler, F; Aranda, ML; Calanni, JS; Concha, L; Dorfman, D; González Fleitas, MF; Narvaez, O; Rosenstein, RE; Sande, PH, 2021)
"Having a history of optic neuritis is associated with improved sleep quality and executive functions but increased daytime sleepiness."1.56Sleep disturbance and cognitive decline in multiple sclerosis patients with isolated optic neuritis as the first demyelinating event.

"Multiple sclerosis is more common in temperate latitudes, and migration studies indicate the involvement of an aetiological environmental factor in pre-pubertal life; the precise nature of this factor has never been identified and may perhaps have been overlooked."1.29Multiple sclerosis: sunlight, diet, immunology and aetiology. ( Hutter, CD; Laing, P, 1996)
