Diagnostic tests for Muscle spasms:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Muscle spasms. Some of these are listed below :

  • Physical examination
    • Inspect for muscle fasciculations (irregular contractions of small areas of muscle which have no rhythmical pattern, are present at rest but not during voluntary movement). This suggests motor neurone disease which cause muscle cramps
    • Observe for chorea (non- repetitive abrupt involuntary jerky movements) that can cause coordination problems. Causes of chorea include Huntington's chorea, Sydenham's chorea, Wilson's disease and senility
    • Peripheral nervous system examination including muscular tone, power, reflexes and coordination
  • Blood tests

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Muscle spasms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had muscle spasms? - to determine if acute or chronic.
  • What exactly do you mean by muscle spasms? - The word spasm may be used by people to describe muscle cramps, tics, twitches, chorea and seizures. Cramps are painful muscle spasms. Tics are brief, repeated stereotyped movements. Chorea is a continuous flow of jerky movements, flitting randomly from one limb or part to another; each movement looks like a fragment of a normal movement. Seizures may involve muscle stiffness and jerking.
  • Which muscles in the body are involved? - e.g. Forearm cramps suggest motor neurone disease. Cramp in the legs are common, especially at night and after exercise. Cramps in the legs are only occasionally a symptom of disease, in particular salt depletion, lack of blood flow to a muscle and disease of a muscle (myopathy). Writer's cramp is the specific compliant of an inability to perform the motor act of writing. Tics most commonly occur on the face, neck or hand.
  • When do the spasms occur? - e.g. at night, in bed, after exercise.
  • Is there a simple explanation for the muscle spasms? - e.g. muscle cramps may be caused by exertion, exercise, excessive perspiration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke or pregnancy.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Muscle spasms) may include:

  • Symptoms of polymyositis and dermatomyositis? - e.g. muscle weakness, especially in thighs and upper arms, muscle aches, muscle cramps (spasms), joint pain, Raynaud's phenomenon, difficulty with swallowing. Dermatomyositis also features a characteristic violet colored rash over the eyelids, forehead, cheeks, hands, knees and elbows.
  • Symptoms of chronic renal failure? - e.g. tiredness, reduced appetite, insomnia, frequency of urination, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps (spasms).
  • Symptoms of Diabetes mellitus? - e.g. frequency of urination, excessive thirst, weight loss (especially in Type 1 Diabetes mellitus), tiredness, fatigue, increased infections especially of the skin and genitals, blurry vision, muscle cramps (spasms).
  • Symptoms of progressive muscular atrophy? - e.g. muscle wasting and weakness usually beginning in the small muscles of one hand and then spreads throughout the arm, wasting soon follows on the opposite side. Muscle cramps may occur. Muscle fasciculations (irregular contractions of small areas of muscle which have no rhythmical pattern) are present at rest but not during voluntary movement).
  • Symptoms of Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome? - e.g. muscle tics with irrepressible, explosive, occasionally obscene language.
