K. Waterloo et al., THE EFFECT OF CARISOPRODOL ON PERFORMANCE ON REPEATEDLY ADMINISTERED NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS, Human psychopharmacology, 12(4), 1997, pp. 393-396
The present double-blind experiment investigated whether the muscle re
laxant carisoprodol affected performance on three neuropsychological t
ests. Our results showed no effect of carisoprodol on test scores, sug
gesting no cerebral affection of carisoprodol in humans. There were no
changes in skin conductance responses after carisoprodol administrati
on, indicating that the arousal level was not affected. However, there
was significant improvement in test scores across days for all tests,
indicating that test scores improved with practice. (C) 1997 John Wil
