propranolol and Myoclonic Jerk

propranolol has been researched along with Myoclonic Jerk in 11 studies

Propranolol: A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.
propranolol : A propanolamine that is propan-2-ol substituted by a propan-2-ylamino group at position 1 and a naphthalen-1-yloxy group at position 3.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The interval between head trauma to onset of symptoms was 1 to 4 weeks."1.28Post-traumatic tremor. ( Biary, N; Cleeves, L; Findley, L; Koller, W, 1989)
"Progress in the treatment of action myoclonus is especially noteworthy and has led to the implication of serotonin deficit in the pathophysiology of this syndrome."1.26New approaches in the management of hyperkinetic movement disorders. ( Fahn, S, 1977)
" Although directly related to daily dosage of levodopa, the myoclonus was specifically blocked by the serotonin antagonist, methysergide."1.25Levodopa-induced myoclonus. ( Bergen, D; Goetz, C; Klawans, HL, 1975)
