valproic acid and Craniocerebral Trauma

valproic acid has been researched along with Craniocerebral Trauma in 12 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Craniocerebral Trauma: Traumatic injuries involving the cranium and intracranial structures (i.e., BRAIN; CRANIAL NERVES; MENINGES; and other structures). Injuries may be classified by whether or not the skull is penetrated (i.e., penetrating vs. nonpenetrating) or whether there is an associated hemorrhage.

" Antiepileptic drugs (AED) such as phenytoin are often used in clinical practice with the hopes of preventing post-traumatic epilepsy."4.91Pharmacological treatments for preventing epilepsy following traumatic head injury. ( Abel, H; Campbell, LA; Pohlmann-Eden, B; Thompson, K, 2015)
"A relation between head trauma and cluster headache is frequently described in the literature."2.38Cluster headache following head injury: a case report and review of the literature. ( Casaly, JS; Dawson, GA; Turkewitz, LJ; Wirth, O, 1992)
"Our case supports the notion of adult myoclonic epilepsy with possible occurrence of praxis-activation of seizures, as has been noted with the other idiopathic generalised epilepsies."1.38Late-onset, praxis-induced myoclonic epilepsy. ( Carrazana, EJ; Glenn, M; Lopez, MR; Wallace, DM, 2012)
"In our study, we report a patient having head trauma history with partial and secondary generalized seizures taking 1500 mg/day valproate."1.31Reversible valproate-induced choreiform movements. ( Bingol, CA; Guleryuz, M; Gunal, DI, 2002)
