Abstract
The described invention relates to the treatment of hyperexcited sensory nerve functions, e.g., neuropathia in human subjects, comprising parenteral administration of an amount of an adenosine receptor agonist to said subjects. It is demonstrated that an adenosine receptor agonist can alleviate or normalize hyperexcited sensory nerve functions such as the perception of touch, temperature, vibration, pain, pressure and disturbances in other sensory functions.
Claims3
A method of alleviation, normalization or diagnosis of a pathologically hyperexcited sensory nerve function in a human patient, comprising administration of an effective amount of an adenosine receptor agonist to said patient, wherein said hyperexcited sensory nerve function is at least one member of the group consisting of hyperestesia and dysestesia.
A method of alleviation, normalization or diagnosis of a pathologically hyperexcited sensory nerve function in a human patient, comprising administration of an effective amount of an adenosine receptor agonist to said patient, wherein said hyperexcited sensory nerve function is allodynia to at least one member of the group consisting of touch, pressure, vibration, heat and cold.
A method of alleviation, normalization or diagnosis of a pathologically hyperexcited sensory nerve function in a human patient, comprising administration of an effective amount of an adenosine receptor agonist to said patient, wherein said hyperexcited sensory nerve function is hyperalgesia.
