Cramp fasciculation syndrome (CFS) is a rare peripheral nerve hyperexcitability disorder. It is more severe than the related (and common) disorder known as benign fasciculation syndrome; it causes fasciculations, cramps, pain, fatigue, and muscle stiffness similar to those seen in neuromyotonia (another related condition). Patients with CFS, like those with neuromyotonia, may also experience paresthesias. Most cases of cramp fasciculation syndrome are idiopathic. Cramp fasciculation syndrome is diagnosed by clinical examination and electromyography (EMG).〔Washington University in St. Louis, Neuromuscular: Cramp-Fasciculation Syndromes, http://neuromuscular.wustl.edu/mother/activity.html#crampfas〕 Fasciculation is the only abnormality (if any)〔TeleEMG website, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)/Motor Neuron Disease, Page 2 http://www.teleemg.com/new/als2.htm〕 seen with EMG. Cramp fasciculation syndrome is a chronic condition. Treatment options include anti-seizure medications such as carbamazepine, immunosuppressive drugs and plasmapheresis.〔 == Signs and Symptoms == Symptoms are very similar to those found in benign fasciculation syndrome and include: * Fasciculations (Primary Symptom) * Muscle cramping (Primary Symptom) * Muscle pain * Muscle Stiffness * Generalized fatigue * Anxiety * Exercise intolerance * Globus sensations * Paraesthesias. * Hyperreflexia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cramp fasciculation syndrome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
