  2. Primary lateral sclerosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_lateral_sclerosis

    Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) usually presents with gradual-onset, progressive, lower-extremity stiffness and pain due to muscle spasticity. Onset is often asymmetrical. [ 2 ] Although the muscles do not appear to atrophy as in ALS (at least initially), the disabling aspect of PLS is muscle spasticity and cramping, and intense pain when those ...

  3. Myofascial pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_pain_syndrome

    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]

  4. Spastic hemiplegia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic_hemiplegia

    Leukodystrophies are a group of hereditary diseases that are known to cause spastic hemiplegia. Brain infections that cause spastic hemiplegia are meningitis, multiple sclerosis, and encephalitis. [7] The spasticity occurs when the afferent pathways in the brain are compromised and the communication between the brain to the motor fibers is lost ...

  5. Spastic diplegia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic_diplegia

    Spastic diplegia is a form of cerebral palsy (CP) that primarily affects the legs, with possible considerable asymmetry between the two sides. It is a chronic neuromuscular condition of hypertonia and spasticity in the muscles of the lower extremities of the human body, manifested as an especially high and constant "tightness" or "stiffness", [1] [2] usually in the legs, hips and pelvis.

  6. Spastic cerebral palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic_cerebral_palsy

    People with the spastic type of CP typically have muscles that are "tight" or stiff due to high muscle tone. [2] Symptoms of spastic cerebral palsy vary as the disability can affect individuals differently. [2] However, they typically appear in infancy and early childhood and most children are diagnosed in the first two years of life. [7]

  7. Hypertonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertonia

    Symptoms associated with central nervous systems disorders are classified into positive and negative categories. Positive symptoms include those that increase muscle activity through hyper-excitability of the stretch reflex (i.e., rigidity and spasticity) where negative symptoms include those of insufficient muscle activity (i.e. weakness) and reduced motor function. [5]

  8. Spasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasticity

    Although the result of spasticity is problems with the muscles, spasticity is actually caused by an injury to a part of the central nervous system (the brain or spinal cord) that controls voluntary movements. The damage causes a change in the balance of signals between the nervous system and the muscles.

  9. Amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplified_musculoskeletal...

    This causes an involuntary response to pain, including vein constriction. This causes increased heart rate, increase in muscle tone, increased respiratory rate, and a reduce of blood flow to the muscles and bone, resulting in an increase in waste products, such as lactic acid. [1]
