TRPV4 Antagonism Prevents Mechanically Induced Myotonia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Annals of Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/ana.25780
Abstract: Myotonia is caused by involuntary firing of skeletal muscle action potentials and causes debilitating stiffness. Current treatments are insufficiently efficacious and associated with side effects. Myotonia can be triggered by voluntary movement (electrically induced myotonia)… read more here.
