nitroglycerin and Raynaud Disease

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Raynaud Disease in 38 studies

Nitroglycerin: A volatile vasodilator which relieves ANGINA PECTORIS by stimulating GUANYLATE CYCLASE and lowering cytosolic calcium. It is also sometimes used for TOCOLYSIS and explosives.
nitroglycerol : A nitrate ester that is glycerol in which nitro group(s) replace the hydrogen(s) attached to one or more of the hydroxy groups.
nitroglycerin : A nitroglycerol that is glycerol in which the hydrogen atoms of all three hydroxy groups are replaced by nitro groups. It acts as a prodrug, releasing nitric oxide to open blood vessels and so alleviate heart pain.

Raynaud Disease: An idiopathic vascular disorder characterized by bilateral Raynaud phenomenon, the abrupt onset of digital paleness or CYANOSIS in response to cold exposure or stress.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Topical nitroglycerin has been tried for the alleviation of Raynaud's phenomenon in rheumatic diseases, but its effect is not widely recognized."5.07[Nitroglycerin tape for Raynaud's phenomenon of rheumatic disease patients--an evaluation of skin temperature by thermography]. ( Akama, T; Kashiwagi, H; Natsuda, H; Shibui, Y; Suzuki, H; Yamane, K; Yuhara, T, 1994)
"In patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), fingertip digital ulcers (DUs) are believed to be ischaemic, and extensor surface DUs a result of mechanical factors/microtrauma."2.84Reduced perfusion in systemic sclerosis digital ulcers (both fingertip and extensor) can be increased by topical application of glyceryl trinitrate. ( Dinsdale, G; Herrick, AL; Hughes, M; Manning, J; Moore, T; Murray, A; Roberts, C; Wilkinson, J, 2017)
" However, these different dosage forms are not all equal in terms of safety and efficacy, and not every one is commercially available for use in clinical practice."2.58Use of nitroglycerin ointment to treat primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon: a systematic literature review. ( Chan, T; Cruz, JE; Hermes-DeSantis, ER; Luen, M; Qiu, O, 2018)
"Limited systemic sclerosis, including CREST syndrome, manifests as fibrotic skin changes restricted to the hands and face, with vascular, musculoskeletal, and visceral involvement."1.48Botulinum toxin for treatment of Raynaud phenomenon in CREST syndrome. ( Berk-Krauss, J; Christman, MP; Franks, A; Liebman, TN; Sicco, KL, 2018)
"The current treatment options for Raynaud phenomenon are often ineffective and can have undesirable adverse effects."1.35Therapy: A local approach to Raynaud phenomenon. ( Herrick, AL, 2009)
"Thermal hyperemia is dramatically altered in patients with secondary RP in comparison with subjects with primary RP."1.33Local hyperemia to heating is impaired in secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. ( Boignard, A; Carpentier, PH; Cracowski, JL; Duc, C; Grange, L; Minson, CT; Salvat-Melis, M; Sarrot-Reynauld, F, 2005)
