Abstract:

Muscle spasms, also known as muscle cramps, are sudden, involuntary contractions of one or more muscles. They can occur in any muscle in the body, but are most experienced in the legs, feet, and back. Muscle spasms can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, overuse of muscles, and nerve damage. In this study, we investigated the most common cases of muscle spasm injuries among athletes in the Tobruk Al Squer Club, their causes, the affected areas, and the treatment methods. Data was collected from Tobruk Al Squer Club, and a total of 30 cases of muscl

Abstract:

Background: For many headache types, occipital peripheral nerve stimulation (ONS) provides significant relief of chronic, frequent, and severe headaches. Though rarely reported, ONS may cause painful muscle spasms that make stimulator use impractical. The classic description of the technique advocates placement of the leads transversely at the level of the arch of C1 or at C1-2. At that level, the greater occipital nerve (GON) infrequently pierces the superficial fascia of the neck muscles to become superficial. However, important anatomic variability exists.

Abstract:

Postoperative muscle spasm is a common complaint in the post-anesthesia care unit. Management of postoperative muscle spasm remains a major challenge as first-line anti-spasmodic agents are not without risk. Due to the adverse effects of sedation and risk for respiratory depression and pulmonary aspiration, conventional anti-spasmodic agents may not be an ideal choice for patients who are recovering from anesthesia. In this case series, we present three patients who underwent nonemergent surgeries with subsequent postoperative cervical muscle spasm that went unresolved with conventional PACU p

Abstract:

A spasm is a sudden, involuntary contraction of a muscle, group of muscles, or hollow organ, such as the bladder. Spasms can be brief but severe and painful. Muscle spasms occur when your muscle involuntarily and forcibly contracts uncontrollably and can’t relax. Muscle spasms are normal and quite common. Spasmolytic drugs are also known as antispasmodic drugs or centrally acting muscle relaxant. A spasmolytic agent is a type of medication that reduces excessive smooth muscle contraction in body, commonly used to alleviate symptoms like abdominal cramps and pain associated with condition

Abstract:

Stiff-Person syndrome (SPS) is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder characterised by episodic painful muscle rigidity and violent spasms. A significant trigger for the painful spasms experienced by patients is pain itself, making optimal pain management and avoidance a necessity. While first-line and second-line therapies for spasm prevention and termination are known, there is a paucity of evidence to guide pain management. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman with SPS referred for excruciating muscle cramping and rigidity with pain lasting beyond the episodes themselves. We report th

The F waves, which result from backfiring of antidromically activated motor neurons of the facial motor nucleus, are indices of the excitability of the facial motor nucleus and are enhanced in patients with hemifacial spasm.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Hemifacial spasm is characterized by sudden, involuntary, irregular, tonic or clonic motor discharge of the facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve), leading to muscular contraction. Its etiology may be idiopathic or secondary to an irritation of the facial nerve. Possible sources of irritation include vascular malformations, infections, trauma, and tumors. Hemifacial spasms may be a temporary or a permanent sequela from Bell’s palsy. This disorder typically presents unilaterally, although it may be seen bilaterally in about 5% of the cases. This condition affects women more

Abstract:

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a loss of serotonin (5-HT) to the spinal cord and a loss of inhibition to deep dorsal horn (DDH) neurons, which produces an exaggerated excitatory drive to motoneurons. The mechanism of this excitatory drive could involve the DDH neurons triggering long excitatory postsynaptic potentials in motoneurons, which may ultimately drive muscle spasms. Modifying the activity of DDH neurons with drugs such as NMDA or the 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist zolmitriptan could have a large effect on motoneuron activity and, therefore, on muscle spasms. In this study, we charact

Abstract:

Because pharyngoesophageal spasm can limit successful voice restoration after total laryngectomy, 24 patients underwent a modified pharyngeal closure in an effort to avoid this problem. All patients underwent total laryngectomy with appropriate neck dissections and pharyngeal closure with a half-muscle closure technique in which only one side of the remnant constrictor muscles was used to reinforce the primary closure. Twenty-three patients underwent voice restoration. Twenty-two (96%) had a functional voice, and 1 patient (4%) had pharyngoesophageal spasm that required a secondary myotomy. On

Congenital Torticollis is a deformity in the position of the head caused by muscle stiffnes on one side that causes limited neck movement to the side that experiences stiffness. The physiotherapy problem is are spasms, decreased muscle strength, shortening of muscle length, limited range motion and decreased functional activity. The physiotherapy examination includes examination of spasms, muscle stength, muscle length, range of motion, functional activit.

Abstract:

We herein report a case of cervical myelopathy due to destructive spondyloarthropathy (DSA) with an unusual painful muscle spasm. A 51-year-old man presented to our hospital due to numbness in the hands and progressive gait disturbance. The patient underwent laminoplasty for cervical myelopathy. One and a half years after surgery, the patient developed progressive kyphosis of the cervical spine and increasing spastisity. He also started to suffer from intractable pain associated with a muscle spasm. A blood analysis revealed marked CK elevation. The patient underwent 2-stage circumferential de

Abstract:

This paper describes the swallowing difficulty and abnormal voicing characteristics of a subject with pharyngeal dystonia. This rare form of dystonia, considered to be a neurological condition resulting in involuntary spasm of the muscles of the pharynx, has not been documented in terms of its effects on the acoustic properties of the voice. This study revealed that during pharyngeal spasm, there are significant delays in voice onset time, a reduction in fundamental frequency, an increased percentage of sub-harmonics and variability in the amplitude perturbation quotient as well as shimmer.

A comprehensive patient examination can establish the correct diagnosis and treatment. ABSTRACT Introduction: A rare neurological disorder known as hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by involuntary, unilateral facial muscle contractions, typically caused by facial nerve irritation. In this report, we looked at a rare and fascinating case of hemifacial spasm (HFS) caused by a large contralateral supratentorial meningioma. The HFS went away ama

Abstract:

Masseter spasm after induction of anaesthesia can be generally defined as a marked difficulty in manual mouth opening that interferes and impedes direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation without the presence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Several factors have been implicated in the literatures responsible for causing masseter spasm including use of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and anxiety. Our case is the first to report masseter spasms with the use of Cis-atracurium in a patient on antidepressant depressant treatment with sertraline and
