* On full moon nights, ComicBook/WerewolfByNight is regularly tied down or locked up by family (his sister Lissa), friends ([[IntergenerationalFriendship Buck]] or ComicBook/{{Morbius}}) allies (Comicbook/MoonKnight), or even people he's just met but feels he can trust ([[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]]). Often it's to little avail as the werewolf is strong enough to break out. Morbius eventually prescribes him drugs that knock him out cold.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episode "Haunted", the team start to think Robin is insane when he continuously claims to see his arch-enemy Slade when they can't. He threatens to hurt them if they get in the way of his hunt for Slade, so they knock them out and strap him down until they can find out what's wrong with him. [[spoiler:As it turns out he'd inhaled a drug that affected his nervous system, meaning only he could see Slade and his body reacted to Slade's attacks as if they were real.]]
-->'''Starfire:''' But must we keep him restrained?
-->'''Cyborg:''' He ''threatened us'', Star. He's dangerous.
-->'''Beast Boy:''' ''Dangerous?!'' Try totally flipped-out cuckoo labonza!

* Tom gets tied up in many ''Fanfic/AllAssortedAnimorphsAUs'' chapters in order to get him to the Hork-Bajir valley without his Yeerk escaping with his body. Eva also ties Marco to a chair in "What if the yeerks all suddenly died?" (because she thinks he's a controller) and "What if they were all from different [=AUs=] á la Into the Spider-Verse?" ([[spoiler:because he ''is'' a controller]]).* John Gage gets it a few times when he's feverish and delirious in [[http://tbillingsemergencyfanfic.com/storiesbytammy.htm this]] ''Series/{{Emergency}}'' fic series. The problem is, it backfires MAJORLY. As a child, John was abused and sometimes had his hands tied by his uncle, and still suffers a type of PTSD from it. Even under normal circumstances, the idea of being restrained frightens him. But when he's sick or injured, confused and not thinking clearly, the restraints trigger flashbacks and the result is sheer terror and blind panic. He'll scream and cry and fight with everything he has to free himself, usually only responding and calming down when he hears Roy's voice. Brackett sees this the first time he treats him, and later stipulates no restraints, ever. But, twice, nurses ignore orders and do it anyway, outraging the doctor, nurse Dixie and the rest of John's friends.

** In the UK's mental health and learning disabilities services, physical restraints are more likely to be used than mechanical restraints, with staff not allow on the wards until they have been trained in how to use it properly. Within that there are two different forms of physical restraint training depending on with service you are working for: pain based restraint for mental health wards, and pressure based for learning disabilities, and they should only be used as a last resort (De-escalation techniques and/or medication should be the first and second options) to stop someone from either seriously hurting themselves or you. Prone restraints shouldn't be used in learning disabilities services, due to the fact there's a serious risk of ''death'' if it is used for too long. Supine restraint is used in learning disabilities instead, as Music/{{Sia}} would have [[CriticalResearchFailure discovered]] if she had actually bother to do the research for Film/Music2021, when it came to the ''infamous'' restraint scene of the title character that had to be cut (or not, as it turned out) after complaints.

* OlderThanFeudalism: In ''Literature/TheOdyssey'', Odysseus has his crew tying him up to the mast of their boat so that he could hear the song of the {{Enthralling Siren}}s and survive. His men have their ears plugged with wax, and under strict orders to not untie him until well away from the sirens, no matter how much he begs them.

* ''Anime/Ulysses31'': Like in the mythological version of the story (see Myths below), upon sailing toward the {{Enthralling Siren}}s, Ulysses orders Nono to tie him up to the mast of their boat before disabling the robot's hearing. Unlike in ''The Odyssey'', though, Ulysses manages to [[BreakingTheBonds break the ropes]] and jump overboard to be captured by the sirens.

* This happens to ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk from time to time. In early stories, Bruce Banner had a bunker under the sea which he had Rick Jones lock him into at night for when he turned into the Hulk.

* ''[[https://my.w.tt/Ytnc4mIFQT Astral Journey: It's Complicated]]'' has [[Music/SpiceGirls Melanie]] locked up in a wheelchair and gurney thanks to her escape attempts. The second of which ended in disaster, following being admitted against her will due to her eating disorder was putting her health in endangered.

** In the "The Return of Harmony, Part 2", Twilight Sparkle has to find her friends and cast a spell to make them themselves again. Once she finds them, they have to be tied up in order for her to cast the spell because they won't stay still.

So she forces Emma, Snow and Mulan to tie her to Rumpelstiltskin's cell until Cora has been defeated. Mulan promises to get Aurora's heart back, and eventually succeeds.

* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' novel ''Literature/TheSilverChair''. The Green Lady's protege asks the protagonists to tie him to the title device and not let him go NoMatterHowMuchIBeg, so that he won't change into a green serpent and kill them. Actually a subversion since he has not yet been revealed to be Prince Rilian and the real reason he is being kept in the Silver Chair is because, rather than being in danger of turning into a snake and killing everyone, those nightly spells are the only times he realizes that he is Prince Rilian and the Green Lady wants to ensure that he doesn't escape from her while he still knows who he is.

* In ''Literature/HarryPotter'', Remus Lupin is a [[WolfMan werewolf]] who, each full moon, would be overcome by the wolf and attack any humans in sight. To keep him from hurting anybody, once he enrolled in Hogwarts he was sent to the Shrieking Shack each month where he would be kept until sunrise.
