The present invention relates to a method of modifying Angiotensin II subtype 1 (AT1) receptor activity for the treatment of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the symptoms associated therewith, and further relates to a method for the treatment of acute or chronic pain mediated by the sympathetic nervous system. The treatment includes the administration of an effective amount of an AT1 antagonist. AT1 antagonists are drugs that are capable of blocking AT1 receptors present within the body throughout the central nervous system including the hypothalamus. By blocking the AT1 receptor activity, hypothalamic nerve activity, and therefore, sympathetic nerve activity are modulated. Thus, an effective method for treating sympathetically mediated pain is provided, as well as an effective method for treating PMS. The AT1 antagonist can be used alone or in combination with other drug therapies, for instance, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, opiod drugs, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and diuretics.
本发明涉及一种改变血管紧张素II亚型1(AT1)受体活性以治疗经前期综合征(PMS)及其相关症状的方法,还涉及一种治疗由交感神经系统介导的急性或慢性疼痛的方法。治疗方法包括施用有效量的AT1拮抗剂。AT1拮抗剂是一种能够阻断体内存在于包括下丘脑在内的整个中枢神经系统中的AT1受体的药物。通过阻断 AT1 受体的活性,可调节下丘脑神经活动,从而调节交感神经活动。因此,我们提供了一种治疗交感神经介导的疼痛的有效方法,以及一种治疗经前综合症的有效方法。AT1拮抗剂可以单独使用,也可以与其他药物疗法结合使用,例如非甾体抗炎药、抗抑郁药、阿片类药物、血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂和利尿剂。
