How Do Benzodiazepines Alleviate Symptoms in Cancer Patients?
Benzodiazepines work by binding to GABA receptors in the brain, which enhances GABA's inhibitory effects. This results in a calming effect on the brain and body, helping to reduce anxiety and promote sleep. Some benzodiazepines also have muscle-relaxing properties, which can be helpful for patients experiencing muscle spasms or pain.
