Hyperreflexia is overactive or overresponsive bodily reflexes. Examples of this include twitching and spastic tendencies, which indicate disease of the upper motor neurons and the lessening or loss of control ordinarily exerted by higher brain centers of lower neural pathways. [citation needed] Spinal cord injury is the most common cause of ...
Autonomic hyperreflexia: Specialty: Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Neurology: Causes: Bladder distension, urinary tract infection, constipation, skin damage, fractures, etc. Prevention: Educate the patient and caregivers about common triggers: Treatment: Removal of the noxious stimuli: Prognosis: Generally good prognosis with low levels ...
Bladder sphincter dyssynergia (also known as detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) (the ICS standard terminology agreed 1998) [1] and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO)) is a consequence of a neurological pathology such as spinal injury [2] or multiple sclerosis [3] which disrupts central nervous system regulation of the micturition (urination) reflex resulting in dyscoordination of the ...
Symptoms of motor neuron diseases can be first seen at birth or can come on slowly later in life. Most of these diseases worsen over time; while some, such as ALS, shorten one's life expectancy, others do not.

“Many of the symptoms may express somatically, in the form of medical problems or conditions, such as ulcers, back pain, hypertension, and the like,” he says.
Ankle clonus. Clonus is a set of involuntary and rhythmic muscular contractions and relaxations. Clonus is a sign of certain neurological conditions, particularly associated with upper motor neuron lesions involving descending motor pathways, and in many cases is accompanied by spasticity (another form of hyperexcitability). [1]
Hot flashes can be associated with all of the above and can bring additional unwanted symptoms of their own. "Some 8 in 10 women will experience hot flashes during menopause or the menopause ...
