theophylline and Dystonia

theophylline has been researched along with Dystonia in 2 studies

Dystonia: An attitude or posture due to the co-contraction of agonists and antagonist muscles in one region of the body. It most often affects the large axial muscles of the trunk and limb girdles. Conditions which feature persistent or recurrent episodes of dystonia as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as DYSTONIC DISORDERS. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p77)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Recent studies have shown beneficial effects of an adenosine A(2A) receptor agonist in dt(sz) mutant hamsters, an animal model of paroxysmal dystonia, in which stress and consumption of coffee can precipitate dystonic attacks."7.71Effects of adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists in a genetic animal model of primary paroxysmal dystonia. ( Hamann, M; Richter, A, 2001)
" It has been known to have side effects such as dyskinesia, but this case details the emergence of dystonia and dyskinesia when the simultaneous use of methylphenidate and a phenothiazine was followed by withdrawal of the phenothiazine."7.66Methylphenidate, neuroleptics and dyskinesia-dystonia.
