Diabetes in stiff-person syndrome
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2023Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) autoantibodies are a hallmark of stiff-person syndrome (SPS) and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). However, patients with concurrent IDDM and SPS often manifest insulin resistance, and SPS-associated IDDM probably has heterogeneous causes.

This communication considers a patient with episodic muscle spasms. Pharmacological intervention and electrophysiological studies provided adequate evidence confirming the diagnosis of stiff person syndrome. Electrophysiological studies in present communication similar to earlier reports, confirmed once again the autonomous state of the anterior horn ...

Levetiracetam in stiff-person syndrome
Journal of Neurology, 2008We studied the effects of oral levetiracetam (LEV) (500 mg twice daily) in three women with stiff-person syndrome in a single-blind, placebo-controlled study. The severity of muscle rigidity and of paroxysmal symptoms was assessed by EMG and clinically by a rating scale of 0-4 and by the Patients Global Impressions Scale. LEV was well tolerated.

Stiff person syndrome is an uncommon neurological disease characterised by symmetrical muscle stiffness and spasms that often lead to skeletal deformity. Variants of this syndrome include the ‘stiff leg syndrome’ in which only one limb is involved and ‘progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus’ in which we can find a variety of ...
