AbstractMuscle cramps are a common problem characterized by a sudden, painful, involuntary contraction of muscle. These true cramps, which originate from peripheral nerves, may be distinguished from other muscle pain or spasm. Medical history, physical examination, and a limited laboratory screen help to determine the various causes of muscle cramps ...

Muscle cramps can occur anywhere and for many reasons. Quinine has been used to treat cramps of all causes. However, controversy continues about its efficacy and safety.To assess the efficacy and safety of quinine in treating muscle cramps.We searched The Cochrane Neuromuscular Disease Group Register, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (

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,

Origin and Development of Muscle Cramps
Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 2013Cramps are sudden, involuntary, painful muscle contractions. Their pathophysiology remains poorly understood. One hypothesis is that cramps result from changes in motor neuron excitability (central origin). Another hypothesis is that they result from spontaneous discharges of the motor nerves (peripheral origin).

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 ...

AS a young physician, I was sternly taught never to submit any paper for publication that contained theory unsubstantiated by fact. 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 ...
