夜间下肢肌肉挛缩乃是部分肌肉、整个或一组肌肉的发作性痛性肌收缩。它能出现在一些全身性疾病过程中,如霍乱、糖尿病性酸中毒或氮血症性昏迷以及各种神经系统疾病时。但这种挛缩亦常在健康人中间发现。著者研究了不患有内科或神经系统疾病的人夜间肌肉挛缩的症状及发生机制,认为夜间肌肉挛缩是由乙醯胆硷与胆硷酯酶之间的平衡失调所致,采用专门阻碍乙醯胆硷对终末器官效应细胞作用的生物硷——阿托平作这种平衡失调的实验治疗。著者用睡前 Night limb muscle contracture is part of the muscle, the whole or a group of muscular paroxysmal pain muscle contraction. It can occur in some systemic diseases such as cholera, diabetic acidosis or azotemic coma and various neurological disorders. However, this contracture is also often found among healthy people. The authors studied the symptoms and mechanisms of nighttime muscle contracture in people who did not have medical or neurological conditions and concluded that nighttime muscle contractures result from a dysregulated balance between acetylcholine and cholinesterase, Alkaloids, alkaloids, which act on the terminal organ effector cells, are used as experimental treatments for this imbalance.
