The cause is believed to be muscle tension or spasms within the affected musculature. [1] Diagnosis is based on the symptoms and possible sleep studies. [1] Treatment may include pain medication, physical therapy, mouth guards, and occasionally benzodiazepine. [1] It is a relatively common cause of temporomandibular pain. [1]
Eosinophilic fasciitis (/ ˌ iː ə ˌ s ɪ n ə ˈ f ɪ l ɪ k ˌ f æ ʃ i ˈ aɪ t ɪ s, ˌ iː oʊ-,-ˌ f æ s i-/ [2] [3]), also known as Shulman's syndrome, [4] is an inflammatory disease that affects the fascia, other connective tissues, surrounding muscles, blood vessels and nerves.
The pain from these contractions can cause mobility limitations and a tense feeling within the muscle, he says. While they’re usually harmless, muscle cramps are undoubtedly uncomfortable.
Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS) is characterized by fasciculation (twitching) of voluntary muscles in the body. [1] The twitching can occur in any voluntary muscle group but is most common in the eyelids, arms, hands, fingers, legs, and feet. The tongue can also be affected. The twitching may be occasional to continuous. [2]
Stop immediately if you experience pain. If you’ve dealt with stiffness and pain in the recent past, you may have come across fascia training — an approach that many in the fitness realm are ...
Activation of trigger points may be caused by a number of factors, including acute or chronic muscle overload, activation by other trigger points (key/satellite, primary/secondary), disease, psychological distress (via systemic inflammation), homeostatic imbalances, direct trauma to the region, collision trauma (such as a car crash which stresses many muscles and causes instant trigger points ...
Muscle weakness is not a feature of this phase, but some people experience muscle stiffness. Additional features can include cough, fever, fatigue, joint pain, edema, and numbness or tingling, usually in the limbs, hands and feet. [8] The chronic phase follows the acute phase. Eosinophilic fasciitis may develop, primarily in the limbs.
Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example).
