Magnesium for skeletal muscle cramps [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2020
Skeletal muscle cramps are common and often occur in association with pregnancy, advanced age, exercise or motor neuron disorders (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Typically, such cramps have no obvious underlying pathology, and so are termed idiopathic.

Case report: Incomplete penetrance of autosomal dominant myotonia congenita caused by a rare CLCN1 variant c.1667T>A (p.I556N) in a Malaysian family

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Myotonia congenita (MC) is a rare neuromuscular disease caused by mutations within the CLCN1 gene encoding skeletal muscle chloride channels. MC is characterized by delayed muscle relaxation during contraction, resulting in muscle stiffness.
