Treatment
Our objective in this study was to compare the efficacy of the extract of Valeriana Officinalis L. with placebo in the treatment of OCD. METHODS: The study was an 8-week pilot double-blind randomized trial. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Valerian medication is sometimes recommended as first line treatment when the benefit-risk relation requires it and is often indicated as transition medication during the discontinuation processes involving bromazepam, clonazepam and diazepam, among others [doi.org]
It may also be applied locally as a treatment for cramps and other muscle tensions. [herbwisdom.com]
