“…Both benzodiazepines and neuromuscular blockade will help with muscle spasm but paralysis will also help with control of ventilation. The use of intrathecal baclofen has been proposed to restore central inhibition and promote muscle relaxation (12). Because there is autonomic dysfunction in tetanus infection, morphine can be used to reduce sympathetic alpha tone and central discharge, and produces peripheral arterial and venous dilatation (13).…”

“…Intrathecal baclofen, a specific ␥-aminobutyric acid-B agonist, has been utilized to treat muscle rigidity and spasms in tetanus (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Saissy et al (15) prospectively evaluated repeated intrathecal injections of baclofen in the treatment of ten patients with severe tetanus.…”

“…Thus, there remains a continuing search for therapies that can control muscle spasms and rigidity without the need for prolonged deep sedation or artificial ventilation. Opioids (4,9,11,12), benzodiazepines (3-6, 9, 10), baclofen (13)(14)(15)(16)(17), dantrolene (18 -21), and propofol (22) have all been utilized in cases of severe tetanus to control muscle spasms and rigidity. However, adverse effects associated with these therapies often limit their use.…”

“…Weil es die Blut-Hirn-Schranke nicht überwindet, ist jedoch eine intrathekale Gabe vonnöten. Jedoch wurde in allen bislang veröffentlichten Studien bei einem signifikanten Teil der Patienten trotz allem eine Beatmung nötig, und somit muss auch hier die Möglichkeit der Ventilation gegeben sein [15,26]. Zudem beinhaltet die invasive intrathekale Gabe ein erhöhtes Infektions-und Blutungsrisiko und ist sehr kostenintensiv.…”

“…Auch das bereits genannte Baclofen zeigte zumindest in einer Fallserie einen Effekt in der Kontrolle der kardiovaskulären Instabilität, jedoch waren auch diese Ergebnisse nicht reproduzierbar [15,26,32]. Zudem bleiben die Nachteile der notwendigen intrathekalen Applikation.…”
