Pediatric Neuromyotonia

Pediatric neuromyotonia is a rare neurological condition where muscles become overly active and twitch involuntarily due to nerve hyperexcitability. It occurs when nerves repeatedly send signals to muscles, causing persistent or spontaneous muscle contractions, stiffness, and cramps. This condition can impact movement and comfort, often presenting as muscle stiffness or twitching that may worsen with activity or stress. It is typically diagnosed through clinical examination and specialized tests, and treatment aims to reduce nerve activity and relieve symptoms, improving the child's quality of life.
