ABSTRACT
Muscle cramps, defined as a painful contraction of a muscle or muscle group, are a common symptom most people have experienced throughout their lifespan. In some cases cramps can be frequent, severe, and disabling, thus requiring medical assessment and intervention. Physiologic states such as pregnancy and exercise are associated with excessive muscle cramps, as are numerous medical and neurologic conditions, medications such as diuretics and statins, and peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndromes. Treatment options for muscle cramps are limited, although recent studies have shown that mexiletine could be a safe and efficient alternative for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
