Episode Details

Pharmacology After TBI. Part of the Traumatic Brain Injury series of the Reflex PM&R Board Review podcast. Audio correction: In the audio: tizanidine works peripherally at the muscle, with no central action — Correct: Tizanidine is a CENTRALLY-acting alpha-2 agonist (which is why it is sedating). DANTROLENE is the peripherally-acting spasticity drug (acts at the muscle, on the ryanodine receptor) — the audio confused the two. The written chapter is correct. The full companion chapter and a linked board-style Q-bank set for this topic are at https://www.reflexpmr.com/read/TBI-08.
