Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Valproic acid is used in first case as an antiepileptic; own clinical observance and references from the literature show other indication-fields outside of the group of cerebral fits; so Convulex was employed successfully also in the therapy of perioral dyskinesia of variable etiology and in the medical treatment of therapy-resistant pains within the bounds of Polyneuropathy-Polyneuritis Syndrome."3.67[Further therapeutic possibilities with valproic acid (Convulex)]. ( Auff, E; Holzner, F; Wessely, P, 1985)
"Primary Sjogren syndrome is considered as the most frequent connective tissue disease."1.33[Sjögren's syndrome with autonomic failure and epilepsy]. ( Attout, H; Guez, S; Martre, A; Series, C, 2005)
