Diazepam and Seizures
Diazepam is approved to treat seizures. However, it is not approved to be used alone. Instead, it is used along with other seizure medications. It can be useful for stopping a seizure that is particularly difficult to control.
Diazepam and Muscle Spasms
Muscle spasms are involuntary contractions of a muscle or group of muscles. While not usually dangerous, muscle spasms can be uncomfortable and painful. Diazepam is useful for treating muscle spasms due to the following causes:
- Joint or muscle inflammation
- Injury
- Cerebral palsy
- Paraplegia
- Athetosis (a movement disorder of the hands and feet)
- Stiff-man syndrome (a rare neurological disorder).
