DANTROLENE SODIUM SUSPENSION IN TREATMENT OF SPASTIC CEREBRAL PALSY

Abstract

SUMMARYA double‐blind study was carried out on 20 children with spasticity secondary to cerebral palsy, in order to compare the effects of dantrolene sodium suspension and a placebo. The drug was found to be physiologically active in reducing the force of muscle contraction, but objective functional improvement, as measured by multiple performance tests, was irregular and probably not significant.RÉSUMÉ Suspension de dantrolène sodium dans le traitement de l'infirmité motrice cérébrale Une étude en double aveugle a été entreprise chez 20 enfants IMC spastiques, pour comparer une suspension de dantrolène et un placebo. Le médicament s'est révélé physiologiquement actif en réduisant la force de la contraction musculaire, mais l'améloration fonctionnelle objective, mesurée par de multiples épreuves de performance, a été irréguliere et probablement non significative.ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Dantrolen Sodium Suspension zur Behandlung der spastischen Cerebralparese Bei 20 Kindern mit einer Spastik aufgrund einer Cerebralparese wurde eine Doppelblindstudie durchgeführt, urn die Wirkung von Dantrolen Suspension mit der eines Placebo zu vergleichen. Es stellte sich heraus, daß das Medikament physiologisch wirksam war, indem es die Muskelverspannung reduzierte, eine. objektive funktionelle Besserung dagegen war irregulär und wahrscheinlich nicht signifikant, was anhand von verschiedenen Tests festgestellt wurde.RESUMEN Suspensión de dantrolene sódico en el tratamiento de la parálisis espástica cerebral Se realizó un estudio doble‐ciego en 20 niños con espasticidad secundaria a parálisis cerebral, con el objeto de comparar los efectos de una suspensión de dantrolene y un placebo. Se halló que el fármaco era fisiológicamente activo para reducir la fuerza de la contractión muscular, pero la mejoria funcional objetiva medida por medio de diversos tests, de realizatión, era irregular y probablemente no significativa.
