Introduction. A muscle cramp is a sudden, involuntary, painful contraction of a muscle or part of it, self-extinguishing within seconds to minutes and is often accompanied by a palpable knotting of the muscle.The cramp contractions are associated with repetitive firing of motor unit action potentials. cramp can be distinguished from spasms (i.e., any involuntary and abnormal muscle contraction, regardless of whether it is painful) or generic painful contractions based on clinical and electrophysiological criteria. For example, muscle contractures resemble cramps because they are involuntary and painful.
