Nerve-muscle and muscle disorders in other diseases

In short
Neuromuscular disorders affect the neuromuscular system, causing problems with the muscles, the nerves that control them, or the communication between nerves and muscles. These disorders can cause muscles to become weak and waste away, and they may also cause symptoms such as spasms, twitching, and pain. Examples include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and spinal muscular atrophy. These diseases can be genetic, autoimmune, or have an unknown cause, and while many have no cure, treatments may improve symptoms, increase mobility, and lengthen life.

Description
Neuromuscular disorders affect your neuromuscular system. They can cause problems with:
- The nerves that control your muscles
- Your muscles
- Communication between your nerves and muscles
These disorders can cause your muscles to become weak and waste away. You may also have symptoms such as spasms, twitching, and pain.
Examples of neuromuscular disorders include:
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Muscular dystrophy
- Myasthenia gravis
- Spinal muscular atrophy
There can be different causes for these diseases. Many of them are genetic.This means they are inherited (run in families) or are caused by a new mutation in your genes. Some neuromuscular disorders are autoimmune diseases. Sometimes the cause is unknown.
Many neuromuscular diseases have no cure. But treatments may improve symptoms, increase mobility, and lengthen life.

About this page. This page brings together public information from official sources, each cited where it is used. It is not medical advice, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not tell you which treatment to take.
Treatments. Indications are quoted unchanged from official product information (European Medicines Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration). They describe what a medicine is approved for, not whether it is right for you. Approved uses can differ between countries. Always read the package leaflet and follow your doctor's or pharmacist's advice.
What people report. Figures marked "reported by Anpheros users" are anonymous counts from at least 20 people who agreed to share them. They show what people report, not what works, and they are not clinical evidence.
Links between terms. "May be associated with" means the link appears in a cited source. It does not mean you have that condition.
In an emergency, call 112 (or your local emergency number). Do not delay seeking medical help because of something you read here.
