tizanidine and Hypermyotonia

tizanidine has been researched along with Hypermyotonia in 3 studies

tizanidine: RN given refers to parent cpd; structure
tizanidine : 2,1,3-Benzothiadiazole substituted at C-4 by a Delta(1)-imidazolin-2-ylamino group and at C-4 by a chloro group. It is an agonist at alpha2-adrenergic receptor sites.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Tizanidine is a centrally acting alpha-2 adrenoreceptor agonist widely used in the treatment of spasticity in patients with cerebral or spinal injury, and it is causing drawsiness in some of them."2.71[Effects of tizanidine for refractory sleep disturbance in disabled children with spastic quadriplegia]. ( Cho, K; Fujieda, K; Fukuda, I; Miyamoto, A; Oka, R; Tanaka, H, 2004)
" The average dosage at 4 weeks was 25."2.70Prospective assessment of tizanidine for spasticity due to acquired brain injury. ( Brunner, RM; Guin-Renfroe, S; Johnson, A; Meythaler, JM, 2001)
"Severe muscle hypertonia in patients with the mixed type of tetraplegia may be associated with significant deterioration in the quality of life of the patients."1.42[Effectiveness of continuous infusion of tizanidine (Ternelin) via a feeding tube for patients with the mixed type of tetraplegia]. ( Fujii, T; Hayasi, A; Hiejima, I; Kumada, T; Miyajima, T; Nozaki, F, 2015)
