[Neureprotective drugs efficiency in patients with chronic tension headaches]
Abstract:
Authors examined 126 patients with chronic tension headaches. Patients were divided in two groups: general and control. The control group received conventional therapy (tizanidin, fluoxetin, vinpocetin, manual acupressure active points of m. trapezius and temporo-mastoideus part of the head); in the group besides standard medicines was used mexidol. Before and after the treatment clinical neurophisiological examination was done, including electroneuromyography. Increasing evidence suggests that combination of basic medications with mexidol is the most effective method for treating TH.

Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxants: Therapeutic Uses
Centrally acting drugs are classified into spasmolytic and antispasmodic drugs. Spasmolytic drugs such as baclofen, diazepam, and tizanidine inhibit spinal motor neurons and decrease muscle tone. Spasmolytic drugs are administered for severe and chronic spasms due to multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, and spinal cord and muscle injuries. However,...
