theobromine and Pain

theobromine has been researched along with Pain in 12 studies

Theobromine: 3,7-Dimethylxanthine. The principle alkaloid in Theobroma cacao (the cacao bean) and other plants. A xanthine alkaloid that is used as a bronchodilator and as a vasodilator. It has a weaker diuretic activity than THEOPHYLLINE and is also a less powerful stimulant of smooth muscle. It has practically no stimulant effect on the central nervous system. It was formerly used as a diuretic and in the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, pp1318-9)
theobromine : A dimethylxanthine having the two methyl groups located at positions 3 and 7. A purine alkaloid derived from the cacao plant, it is found in chocolate, as well as in a number of other foods, and is a vasodilator, diuretic and heart stimulator.

Pain: An unpleasant sensation induced by noxious stimuli which are detected by NERVE ENDINGS of NOCICEPTIVE NEURONS.

"Twenty patients with ischemic rest pain were treated with intravenous pentoxifylline, 1,200 mg daily, for up to three weeks."7.67Intravenous pentoxifylline in the treatment of rest pain: a preliminary report. ( Carey, D; Kent, P; McCollum, PT; Moore, DJ; O'Driscoll, K; Shanik, DG; Stanley, ST; Weil von der Ahe, CA, 1989)
" In the present study, we examined the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects produced by the peripheral (intraplantar) administration of 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosine (an adenosine kinase inhibitor), 2'-deoxycoformycin (an adenosine deaminase inhibitor), and combinations of both agents in the carrageenan-induced thermal hyperalgesia and paw oedema model in the rat."3.70Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of an adenosine kinase inhibitor and an adenosine deaminase inhibitor.
