Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel use of opioid compounds for treatment of a neurologic or neurogenic disorder. Such neurologic or neurogenic disorders include lingual, pharyngeal, laryngeal, esophageal, urinary bladder sphincter, lumbar and lumbo-sacral spine, and pelvis and pelvic limb paresis/paralysis. The invention provides a unique method of treating a specified disorder or syndrome by administering to a subject in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of an opioid compound.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for classifying, diagnosing and/or treating a group of human and veterinary ailments involving endogenous opioid concentrations. Also provided is a novel use for an existing class of compounds, the opioids, to treat opiopathic ailments, particularly paresis/paralysis, pseudo-atrophy and/or opiopathic pain, and in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and veterinary formulations therefor. The invention also relates to neuropathic, polyneuropathic, neurologic and neurogenic ailments typically characterized by paresis/paralysis. These ailments can involve an abnormal concentration of one or more endogenous opioids, or the blockade, underexpression or overexpression of one or more opioid receptors. In that regard, the invention encompasses therapeutic uses, methods and compositions employing opiates and/or their receptors.
