Disease relevance of Trochlear Nerve Diseases

Other pharmacological treatment options are baclofen for periodic alternating nystagmus, gabapentin and memantine for acquired pendular nystagmus, and carbamazepine for superior oblique myokymia [1].

High impact information on Trochlear Nerve Diseases

Propranolol in the treatment of superior oblique myokymia [2].
Gabapentin attenuates superior oblique myokymia [3].
Recurrent superior oblique myokymia in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Trochlear Nerve Diseases

CONCLUSION: Gabapentin may be an effective treatment for superior oblique myokymia; a double-blind study seems justified [3].
