Muscle twitches, also called fasciculations, usually only affect a single muscle. They're characterized by tiny contractions inside the muscle, caused by a nerve impulse. Muscle spasms, also called muscle cramps, affect multiple muscle tissues and are brought on by a chemical imbalance in the body.isorders of the nervous system can also cause muscles to twitch. These include nerve damage, fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy and Lou Gehrig's disease. Along with muscle twitching, weakness in the muscles accompanies these disorders.
More serious causes. While most muscle twitching is the result of minor conditions and certain lifestyle habits, some muscle spasms can be triggered by more serious causes. These disorders are often related to problems with the nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.
