Question
Intermittent cramps in the arms occur upon just falling asleep, with less recurrence in the latter half of the night. What could be the cause?
Answer
Hello, the situation you described requires clarification between sleep movement disorder and focal epilepsy. It is recommended to undergo an EEG (electroencephalogram) or a polysomnogram. To determine if there are intracranial lesions, a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) should also be checked.
