Tonic convulsion

A tonic cramp is a type of muscle disorder that occurs for no apparent reason and can last for several minutes. It is characterized by severe muscle tension and pain that can spread to the entire limb. Externally, a cramp manifests itself in the form of a tight muscle contraction, which can lead to a change in the position of the body or limbs.

The causes of tonic spasms can be different. Sometimes it can be associated with mineral metabolism disorders or electrolyte imbalance in the body. Cramps in athletes can also occur due to muscle strain and lack of rest after training. Stressful conditions, overload at work or school, and excessive caffeine consumption can also lead to tonic spasms.

Symptoms of tonic seizures depend on their location in the body and can manifest themselves in different ways. They can be mild and unnoticeable, but at the same time disrupt the normal functioning of the limb and lead to loss of motor activity. One of the main symptoms is sudden pain in the

Cramps, which are involuntary muscle contractions, are one of the manifestations of a wide variety of diseases. The most common and dangerous type of seizure is a tonic seizure. Closely related to the contraction of skeletal muscles, tonic cramps are also characteristic of individual muscle groups. Different muscle groups are characterized by the characteristics of seizures, which depend on the clinical course and stage of the disease from which it results. Of particular diagnostic importance in determining the nature of seizures is the degree of their severity.

By duration they are divided into: prolonged convulsions (more than 1 minute), paroxysmal convulsive contractions with a repetition frequency during one attack. As a rule, tonic spasms in most diseases of the nervous system are expressed in relatively rarely occurring short muscle contractions that do not have a specific localization and are characterized by a long course and increasing spasm. Tonic (tonic-clonic, clonic) convulsions are caused by excitation of all muscle groups along with limitation of the patient’s mobility.
