Abstract:
A method of treating nocturnal muscle cramps is provided. The method includes the step of administering to a patient with nocturnal muscle cramps an amount of nitroglycerin effective to relieve one or more symptoms of the nocturnal muscle cramps. The nitroglycerin typically is delivered topically, substantially superficial to the affected muscle, and most typically by a transdermal patch.
