Abstract | Progressive supranuclear palsy is a degenerative neurological condition with a high level of associated motor symptom burden manifesting in poor postural reflexes, bradykinesia, dystonia and stiffness in the body core and neck. In the light of a paucity in literature exploring pain management in neurodegenerative diseases, the below case report describes the use of dantrolene to successfully relieve distressing widespread dystonia and muscle rigidity refractory to non-pharmacological and pharmacotherapy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of dantrolene use for the treatment of refractory muscle rigidity pain in neurodegenerative conditions. |
