atropine/headache

BACKGROUND Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) lacks a standard evidence-based treatment. A patient treated with neostigmine for severe PDPH prompted this study. METHODS This randomized, controlled, double-blind study compared neostigmine and atropine (n = 41) versus a saline placebo (n = 44) for

Cluster headache is characterized by typical autonomic dysfunctions including facial and intracranial vascular disturbances. Both the trigeminal and the cranial parasympathetic systems may be involved in mediating these dysfunctions. An experimental model was developed in the rat to measure changes

The clinical significance of intramuscular premedication with 0.01 mg/kg of atropine in a procedure involving oral benzodiazepine premedication (15 mg midazolam the evening before surgery and on the morning of surgery) was investigated in a double-blind study. As far as sedation, apprehension,

Anticholinergic syndrome (AS) due to accidental poisoning is exceptional. Mandragora contains a high concentration of atropine, hiosciamine and scopolamine. We have evaluated 15 patients with AS due to poisoning by Mandragora autumnalis, distributed in two family groups. The latency period since the

SUNCT is a headache syndrome characterized by short-lasting (usually 15-120 sec), unilateral head pain paroxysms localized in the peri-ocular area, accompanied by conjunctival injection, lacrimation, nasal stuffiness, rhinorrhea, and subclinical forehead sweating, all on the symptomatic side. A

Regadenoson (REG), a selective A2A receptor vasodilator, has not been widely evaluated in stress echocardiography (SE). We report results of 45 patients participating in REG + atropine (REGAT) SE protocol conducted in a single-center prospective trial. The REGAT study enrolled subjects before a

OBJECTIVE A fixed-dose combination (FDC) of D-norpseudoephedrine, tri-iodothyronine, atropine, aloin, and diazepam is used in Mexico for the short-term treatment of obesity; however, its efficacy and safety have been scarcely studied. The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of

In four patients with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, two of whom could precipitate attacks mechanically, various autonomic function tests were carried out in connection with attacks. Not all features could be studied in all patients. Forehead sweating and temperature were measured. Sweating,

Substance P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI) was measured by radioimmunoassay in iris, choroid, and retina obtained from men after death. Although present in different amounts, SP-LI, eluting as authentic SP or SP sulfoxide in the high-performance liquid chromatography system, was found in the three

PurposeRandomized controlled trials have shown the efficacy of atropine for progressive myopia, and this treatment has become the preferred pattern for this condition in Taiwan. This study explores the effectiveness of atropine 0.5% treatment for progressive high myopia and adherence to therapy in a

Diagnostic tests that are hazardous or infeasible, or both, may become accepted before inadequacies are recognised; only multicentre trials can provide the necessary information for an unrestricted acceptance of any new diagnostic procedure. We prospectively studied the results obtained in 24

UNASSIGNED Our purpose is to describe a 60-year-old male, who has plateau iris configuration and developed bilateral ciliochoroidal effusion syndrome after ingestion of acetazolamide. UNASSIGNED Our case was a research participant in a multi-center clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01677507).
