Painful involuntary skeletal muscle contractions, or cramps, are common patient complaints and may be classified as examples of true cramp, tetany, contracture, or dystonia. The pathophysiologic and clinical features of each of these diagnoses are described. The approach to the patient with cramps should emphasize the history, physical examination, and,

To the Editor.— In their brief article, "Nocturnal Leg Muscle Cramps," Israel H. Weiner, MD, and Henry L. Weiner gave a simple physiological explanation for ordinary cramps. They said that when a muscle starts to contract at its shortest length, it shortens "beyond physiological limit into a painful cramp." This occurs because there is "no resistance ...

Now that I have reached a riper age — indeed, one that approaches medical senility — I am wondering if the Journal's new section entitled "Medical Intelligence" may not offer me an outlet for some of those wonderful ...

Muscle cramp susceptibility increases following a volitionally induced muscle cramp
Muscle & Nerve, 2017ABSTRACTIntroductionMuscle cramping may increase peripheral nervous system excitability. It is unknown if, and how long, cramp susceptibility is affected by previous cramping. We tested whether volitionally induced muscle cramps (VIMCs) lowered cramp threshold frequency (TFc) and how long TFc was affected post‐VIMC.MethodsFifteen cramp‐prone ...

In a nutshellLeg cramps are common in pregnancy, the elderly, some medical conditions and as exercise/heat cramps. Although they can be due to deficiencies of nutrients such as electrolytes (e.g. magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium), there is not much evidence to suggest this is true in most cases.Supplement trials of these nutrients and others ...
