piracetam and Spasm

piracetam has been researched along with Spasm in 5 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

Spasm: An involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. Spasms may involve SKELETAL MUSCLE or SMOOTH MUSCLE.

"The objective of the study was primarily to evaluate the efficacy of the anticonvulsant levetiracetam in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) at- and below-level pain and secondarily to evaluate the effect on spasm severity."5.14Levetiracetam in spinal cord injury pain: a randomized controlled trial.
