I. Assess the efficacy of dichlorphenamide in the treatment of episodic weakness attacks in patients with hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, paramyotonia congenita with periodic paralysis, and hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
Detailed Description:
PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind study. Patients are stratified by participating institution and diagnosis.
The weekly attack rate is determined during an 8-week assessment prior to therapy initiation and at crossover.
Patients are randomly assigned to oral dichlorphenamide (DCP) or placebo for 9 weeks and then cross to the alternate treatment. Patients on DCP at baseline continue on the same dose; those on acetazolamide (ACZ) at baseline receive a DCP dose equivalent to one fifth of the ACZ dose.
