ritanserin has been researched along with Diffuse Myofascial Pain Syndrome in 1 studies

Ritanserin: A selective and potent serotonin-2 antagonist that is effective in the treatment of a variety of syndromes related to anxiety and depression. The drug also improves the subjective quality of sleep and decreases portal pressure.
ritanserin : A thiazolopyrimidine that is 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one which is substituted at position 7 by a methyl group and at position 6 by a 2-{4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methylidene]piperidin-1-yl}ethyl group. A potent and long-acting seratonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) antagonist of the subtype 5-HT2 (Ki = 0.39 nM), it is used in the treatment of a variety of disorders including anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. It has little sedative action.

"The aim of the study was to evaluate in a double-blind manner the effect of the long-acting 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 (5-HT2)-receptor blocker Ritanserin on clinical symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) and on production of antibodies to serotonin, gangliosides and phospholipids, recently shown to have a high incidence in this disease."9.08A randomised double-blind 16-week study of ritanserin in fibromyalgia syndrome: clinical outcome and analysis of autoantibodies to serotonin, gangliosides and phospholipids.
