Myoclonus
Myoclonus is sudden, brief, involuntary twitching or jerking of a muscle or group of muscles. These movements are not a condition in themselves, but may signal an underlying neurological problem.
Key points
- Muscle movements can result from a muscle suddenly contracting or relaxing.
- Causes can vary, and myoclonus may occur alongside another neurological condition.
- Treatment may address an underlying cause or aim to reduce disruptive movements.
Medicines listed for Myoclonus
The listed products for myoclonus contain Piracetam. Both Cerecetam and Nootropil are tablets. Piracetam is used in some cases of cortical myoclonus, a form of involuntary twitching linked to activity in the brain.
