Dr. Donohue: 5/17/99 Dystonias cause muscle contractions. Dear Dr. Donohue I have meige's syndrome. DB meige's syndrome is a member of the dystonia family of illnesses. http://www.s-t.com/daily/05-99/05-17-99/zzzaddon.htm
Extractions: Drugs such as baclofen and trihexyphenidyl might ease Meige's syndrome. Botulinum toxin injected into muscles can stop the sudden muscle contractions of dystonia. Botulinum toxin comes from the bacterium that causes serious food poisoning and muscle paralysis. The toxin is watered down to a point where it does not paralyze, but does stop involuntary muscle contractions.

Medical Information MARIJUANA AND TOURETTE'S SYNDROME Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, Vol. 8/No. 6, Dec 1988 Editors: Although a variety of pharmacological agents have been reported to attenuate symptoms of Tourette's syndrome (TS), the pathophysiology of this disorder remains unknown. Apart from the presence of disabling motor and vocal tics, TS patients often experience behavioral disturbances including obsessive compulsive thoughts, anxiety, depression, abnormal sleep disturbances. (1) Drug abuse to obtain relief from the chronic anxiety may be common among these patients. (2) (3) We recently encountered three patients with TS who experienced incomplete responses to conventional anti-TS drugs but noted a significant amelioration of symptoms when smoking marijuana. The first patient was a 15-year-old boy who, in addition to motor tics, had obsessive compulsive and self-mutilatory behavior improved with administration of imipramine (37.5 mg/day) combined with the oral opiate

Extractions: Tourette Syndrome and Other Tic Disorders Tics are involuntary, rapid, repetitive and stereotyped movements of individual muscle groups. They are more easily recognized than precisely defined. Tic disorders are generally categorized according to age of onset, duration of symptoms, severity of symptoms and the presence of vocal and/or motor tics. Transient tic disorders often begin during the early school years and can occur in up to 18% of all children. Common tics include eye blinking, nose puckering, grimacing and squinting. Transient vocalizatins are less common and include various throat sounds, pinching the genitals are examples. Transient tics last only a few weeks or months and are usually not associated with specific behavioral or school problems. They are especially noticeable during times of heightened excitement or fatigue. As with all tic syndromes, boys are three to four times more often affected than girls. While transient tics by definition do not persist for more than a year, it is not uncommon for a child to have recurrent episodes of transient tics over the course of several years. Chronic tic disorders are differentiated from transient tic disorders not only by their duration over many years, but by their relatively unchanging character. While transient tics come and go (sniffing may be replaced by forehead furrowing and the furrowing and furrowing may become finger snapping), chronic ticssuch as facial contortions or blinkingmay persist unchanged for years.

David Blalock, MA At The Center For Voice Disorders of Wake Forest University , one hundred consecutive patients with "spasmodic dysphonia" were systematically evaluated and classified by criteria described below. The classification herein presented at first appears complex; however, in clinical practice, it appears to be a useful system in diagnosis, in predicting the response to Botox treatment, and in customizing the treatment for each SD subtype. Materials and Methods All patients underwent otolaryngologic examination and videoendoscopic assessment of laryngeal function by an otolaryngologist, evaluation by a speech pathologist specifically trained in the diagnosis and management of voice disorders, voice laboratory evaluation, screening neurological examination, and laryngeal electromyography (EMG). The otolaryngologic evaluation comprised: 1) a detailed medical history, including completion of a standardized laryngeal movement disorders data flow sheet; 2) a complete otolaryngologic examination; 3) transnasal fiberoptic laryngoscopy (TFL) with videostroboscopy using a standardized format that included asking the patient to perform the following vocal tasks twice, once using a normal glottal attack and once using a soft breathy voice. The tasks were for the patient to state his or her name, the date, the vowels /i/ and /a/, and a standard phrase, "the cake is great, and the rainbow is beautiful."

Extractions: Sulpiride in Meige's syndrome:Possible role of glutamate Sang Ahm Lee, MD., Jin Soo Kim, MD., Jae Hoon Ahn, MD., Kyoung Gyu Choi, MD. Department of Neurology, Yonsei University College of Medicine Sulpiride, selective antagonist for adenylate cyclase-independent dopamine receptor, was administrated to 25 patients with blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia (Meige's syndrome). Of the 25 patients, 7 patients (28%) produced marked and lasting improvement with sulpiride and 12 patients (48%) showed mild or transient improvement. This favorable therapeutic response to sulpiride suggests that striatal glutamate underactivity may play a role in the pathophysiology of Meige's syndrome as a primary or secondary defect.

DMRF: Forms Of Dystonia: Oromandibular Dystonia When oromandibular is combined with blepharospasm, it may be referred to as meige'sSyndrome named after Henry meige, the French neurologist who first http://www.dystonia-foundation.org/defined/oro.asp
Extractions: Oromandibular is often associated with dystonia of the cervical muscles (cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis), eyelids (blepharospasm), or larynx (spasmodic Dysphonia). The combination of upper and lower dystonia is sometimes called cranial-cervical dystonia. When oromandibular is combined with blepharospasm, it may be referred to as Meige's Syndrome named after Henry Meige, the French neurologist who first described the symptoms in detail in 1910. The symptoms usually begin between the ages of 40 and 70 years old and appear to be more common in women than in men. Oromandibular dystonia may be a continuous disorder that persists even during sleep, or it may be task-specific, occurring only during activities such as speaking or chewing. Difficulty in swallowing is a common aspect of oromandibular dystonia if the jaw if affected, and spasms in the tongue can also make it difficult to swallow.

Extractions: Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, and Neurology University of Arizona Medical Center, Tucson, Arizona 85721, U.S.A. Cannabidiol (CBD) a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid of Cannabis, was given to 5 patients with dystonic movement disorders in a preliminary open pilot study. Oral doses of CBD rising from 100 t 600 mg/day over a 6 week period were administered along with standard medication. Dose-related improvement in dystonia was observed in all patients and ranged from 20 to 50%. Side-effects of CBD were mild and included hypotension, dry mouth, psychomotor slowing, lightheadedness, and sedation. In 2 patients with coexisting Parkinsonian features, CBD at doses over 300 mg/day exacerbated the hypokinesia and resting tremor. CBD appears to have antidystonic and Parkinsonism-aggravating effects in humans. As early as 1842, O'Shaughnessy reported that oral Cannabis blocked tetanic convulsions and reduced muscular spasms in his patients afflicted with epilepsy, tetanus or rabies, while in 1890 Reynolds claimed that oral Cannabis was useful in the management of "choreoid and epileptoid clonic spasms." During the latter 19th century, Cannabis was commonly employed as a general antispasmodic agent, and several recent reports appear to provide some justification for this use. In 1981, Petro and Ellenberger reported that delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive cannabinoid of Cannabis, reduced spasticity of multiple sclerosis, and in 1983 Cliffored reported that THC reduced tremor in a few patients with the same disease. Also in 1980 Cunha et al. reported that cannabidiol (CBD), a major nonpsychoactive cannabinoid of Cannabis, prevented convulsions in epileptic patients who were largely refractory to standard antiepileptic drugs.
