Abstract

  Leg muscle cramps in cervical myelopathic changes is inconsistent symptom and later on very disturbing to the patient specially in night time while taking rest. NO is generated by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) which acts via 10000-fold effect to reverse the neuronal damage. We have used intrathecal sodium nitroprusside to activate the 10000-fold effect to modulate the retrograde neuroregulation in muscle cramps in cervical myelopathy in a case.

Keywords: Night Muscle Cramps; 10000-fold Effect; Intrathecal Sodium Nitroprusside
