Abstract

Diphenhydramine is a common drug used for allergy syndrome. Diphenhydramine has some common side effects that are associated with muscle disorder. In order to review the English lectures about the relationship between diphenhydramine and treatment of acute dystonia, PubMed, EBSCOhost, and the Web of Knowledge databases were searched using the following keywords: “Diphenhydramine,” “treatment of Acute Dystonia,” “acute dystonia,” and “muscle disorder.” Some case reports have shown that diphenhydramine was effective in dystonia and one case report showed that patients with acute dystonia can be given intravenous diphenhydramine to relieve the syndrome. Diphenhydramine has effectiveness for patients with dystonia. According to results, we believe that diphenhydramine could be useful to patients with acute dystonia. Because some psychoactive drugs and mental disorder will induce patient to show the acute dystonia, diphenhydramine could be a good choice for those patients.
