Background Leg muscle cramps have been identified as the strongest independent predictor of worse quality of life in Australian children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease Type 1A (CMT1A). There is no accepted treatment for cramp in children with CMT and the cause of cramp is not well understood. Potential therapeutic targets should be carefully identified to direct clinical trials of interventions.

The prognosis of hexacarbon induced polyneuropathy is usually good, though its clinical course after the cessation of exposure has not been described in detail. Eleven patients with moderate to severe n-hexane induced polyneuropathy due to occupational exposure were regularly followed up for a period of four years at the neurological department of the National Taiwan University Hospital. Sensor...

INTRODUCTION Although highly prevalent and painful, night-time calf muscle cramping is poorly understood, and no treatment has shown consistent efficacy or safety. METHODS One hundred sixty adults were recruited from New South Wales, Australia, including 80 who had night-time calf cramping at least once per week and 80 age- and gender-matched adults who did not. Participants were assessed usi...

CASE REPORT A 34 year old caucasian woman with no prior medical presented with severe hypokalemia; hypomagnesemia and mild hyponatremia. Her past medical and family history were unremarkable. She was on no medication and denied any symptoms, unless for occasionally muscle cramps. Water intake ≥3L/ day. She was normotensive, no edemas and normal urine output. The review of systems was otherwise ...

Four cases of muscle cramps, at a sports institute, are presented. Electric activity was increased in cramp due to overload. The influence of stretching, electro- and compression therapies on these increased Electromyographic (EMG) activities was studied. The registration was performed with an EMG-analyser combined with a recorder, using surface electrodes.

Background: Several studies have suggested that online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) may reduce the risk of mortality and improve quality life these patients compared with standard hemodialysis. Methods: Forty stable out on dialysis (20 hemodialysis 20 hemodiafiltration) above age 18 years vintage more than 3 months were followed up for months. Clinical, biochemical parameters along SF-36 score at...

Introduction: The most common important complications of hemodialysis are hypotension, muscle cramps, nausea and vomiting, which play a significant role in the process dialysis patient’s lifestyle. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate impact serum magnesium on incidence complications. Patients Methods: Two blood samples were obtained from all patients who eligible enter for checking thei...

Magnesium plays a role in nearly 600 important metabolic and enzymatic reactions the body. In developing countries, 10-30% of people have magnesium deficiency. deficiency can result migraines, insomnia, leg cramps, anxiety, arrhythmias, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, etc. Transdermal supplementation has been shown to be useful as muscle relaxant treating cramps. Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil cont...

BACKGROUND Magnesium (Mg(2+)) is an essential ion for cell growth, neuroplasticity and muscle contraction. Blood Mg(2+) levels <0.7 mmol/L may cause a heterogeneous clinical phenotype, including muscle cramps and epilepsy and disturbances in K(+) and Ca(2+) homeostasis. Over the last decade, the genetic origin of several familial forms of hypomagnesaemia has been found. In 2000, mutations in FX...
