riluzole and Nervous System Diseases

riluzole has been researched along with Nervous System Diseases in 4 studies

Riluzole: A glutamate antagonist (RECEPTORS, GLUTAMATE) used as an anticonvulsant (ANTICONVULSANTS) and to prolong the survival of patients with AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS.

Nervous System Diseases: Diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. This includes disorders of the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscle.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Riluzole has multiple molecular actions in vitro; the two that have been documented to occur at physiologically realistic drug concentrations and are therefore most likely to be clinically relevant are inhibition of certain voltage-gated sodium channels, which can lead to reduced neurotransmitter release, and enhanced astrocytic uptake of extracellular glutamate."6.44Riluzole in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders. ( Banasr, M; Bloch, M; Coric, V; Krystal, JH; Pittenger, C; Sanacora, G, 2008)
"In recent years several new treatments have been introduced in neurology, sumatriptan in migraine, riluzole in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, interferon-beta in multiple sclerosis and rivastigmine in Alzheimer's disease."4.80[New therapies in neurology, but who benefits?].

Trial Outcomes

VAS-anxiety Immediately After the Impromptu Speech Task

"Measure Description: In the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) participants are presented with a straight horizontal line of 100 mm in length and asked to mark the placement that would best describe the intensity of the anxiety felt at that moment. The left end (0mm) represents no anxiety and the right end (100mm) represents the worst anxiety ever felt by the participant.The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimeters from the left hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks, generating a numerical score along a continuum" (NCT03017508)
