Myoclonus Actions

Action myoclonus

Action myoclonus is a type of myoclonic twitching that occurs in a patient at the beginning of any manifestation of muscle activity.

Action myoclonia manifests itself in the form of sudden, short-term muscle contractions that occur at the moment the movement begins. These twitches most often affect the muscles of the limbs, face and torso. They can lead to disruption of smoothness and coordination of movements.

Action myoclonus is caused by excessive excitability of the nerve centers responsible for the initiation of voluntary movements. This type of myoclonus is observed in some neurological and mental diseases, including epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

To treat myoclonus, antiepileptic drugs, tranquilizers, and physical therapy methods can be used. Eliminating predisposing factors (lack of sleep, stress, stimulant use) can help reduce the severity of myoclonic jerks.



_What is myoclonus and what is it for?_

Myoclonic spasms. They are also called myoclonus or myclonia movements. These are abnormal contractions of individual muscles that occur during an attack of epilepsy. At the peak of the pathological movement, strong and short-lasting muscle contractions quickly occur. Immediately after the end of the convulsive contraction phase, muscle tone drops sharply. Typically, myoclonus attacks are accompanied by frontal and temporal lobe seizures. Motor manifestations can occur spontaneously, as a reaction to psycho-emotional overload, stress on the musculoskeletal system, and some exogenous influences (noise, bright light).
