EFFECT OF TETRAETHYLAMMONIUM CHLORIDE (ETAMON CHLORIDE) ON MUSCLE SPASM IN POLIOMYELITIS

[摘要] A series of 232 muscle functions were carefully evaluated on 17 patients, comparing the results obtained in the reduction of spasm using the intravenous administration of tetraethylammonium chloride (etamon chloride) with frequent stretching as opposed to the conventional hot packs with frequent stretching.The results were not statistically significant in showing the virtues of one form of therapy as opposed to the other. The subjective impression of the personnel involved and the preference of the patients for the medication make it seem reasonable to enlarge the series studied to determine its true place in the current poliomyelitis therapy.
