Disease relevance of Neurasthenia

  • The purpose of the study was to measure IL-18 levels in serum and CSF of 21 patients with the relapsing-remitting form of MS, 9 with active gadolinium enhancing lesions in MRI and 12 without enhancing lesions, and to compare results with control group consisting of 11 patients with diagnosis of neurasthenia and tension headache [1].
 

High impact information on Neurasthenia

  • Death of neurasthenia and its psychological reincarnation: a study of neurasthenia at the National Hospital for the Relief and Cure of the Paralysed and Epileptic, Queen Square, London, 1870-1932 [2].
  • Thus, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors act on the affective component (depression and anxiety) and calcium channel blockers on the cognitive component (neurasthenia) [3].
  • A randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study of a Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide extract in neurasthenia [4].
  • The study of such culture-specific categories as travelling psychosis, neurasthenia, qigong-induced mental disorder, and dysfunctional homosexuality sheds light on the larger sociomoral processes and destabilizing changes in subjectivity that are occurring in this most populous country in the world [5].
  • Whereas Freud was of his time in attempting to redefine the category of 'neurasthenia' and adducing the familiar concept of 'sexual noxae', his originality lay in the elevation of these factors, hitherto seen as external, to the status of 'true' causes [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Neurasthenia

  • This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of a polysaccharide extract of G. lucidum (Ganopoly) in Chinese patients with neurasthenia [4].
  • Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of pivagabine in neurasthenia [7].
