Antispasticity drugs - what does this mean

Antispasticity drugs are medications used to reduce muscle spasticity in people with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury. these drugs work by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the brain to the affected muscles, thus reducing the severity of spasticity and improving the patient's range of motion and ability to move.

What happens during the disease - antispasticity drugs

Antispasticity drugs work by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for muscle contraction. this reduces the amount of muscle spasms and rigidity, allowing for improved movement and flexibility. these drugs can also reduce pain associated with muscle spasms and rigidity, as well as improve overall motor control.
