mianserin and Spinal Cord Injuries

mianserin has been researched along with Spinal Cord Injuries in 6 studies

Mianserin: A tetracyclic compound with antidepressant effects. It may cause drowsiness and hematological problems. Its mechanism of therapeutic action is not well understood, although it apparently blocks alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1, and some types of serotonin receptors.
mianserin : A dibenzoazepine (specifically 1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydrodibenzo[c,f]pyrazino[1,2-a]azepine) methyl-substituted on N-2. Closely related to (and now mostly superseded by) the tetracyclic antidepressant mirtazapinean, it is an atypical antidepressant used in the treatment of depression throughout Europe and elsewhere.

Spinal Cord Injuries: Penetrating and non-penetrating injuries to the spinal cord resulting from traumatic external forces (e.g., WOUNDS, GUNSHOT; WHIPLASH INJURIES; etc.).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" To probe the role of 5-HT2R in this increased amplitude, dose-response studies were done with the selective antagonists mianserin or LY53857 and the 5-HT2R agonist (+/-)-1-(2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane hydrochloride (DOI)."1.34Up-regulation of 5-HT2 receptors is involved in the increased H-reflex amplitude after contusive spinal cord injury. ( Johnson, CS; Lee, JK; Wrathall, JR, 2007)
" dosage again displayed significant efficacy when administered at 15 min delaying treatment to 30 min resulted in only marginal therapeutic actions."1.29Characterization of mianserin neuroprotection in experimental spinal trauma: dose/route response and late treatment. ( Agresta, CA; Azim, S; Chavin, J; Kelly, G; Puniak, MA; Salzman, SK; Wang, L, 1994)
