Research Notes on Myoclonic Seizure
Myoclonic seizures are rapid, brief contractions of bodily muscles, which usually occur at the same time on both sides of the body. Occasionally, they involve one arm or a foot.1
Fast Facts:
- Even people without epilepsy can experience myoclonus in hiccups or in a sudden jerk that may wake you up as you're just falling asleep.2
- Usually begin in childhood, but the seizures can occur at any age.2
- Usually they don't last more than a second or two. There can be just one, but sometimes many will occur within a short time.2
