Discussion While there are several prior case reports of gabapentin-induced myoclonus, facial myoclonus does not appear to have been documented in the literature. Specifically, there is a lack of literature in emergency medicine regarding gabapentin-induced myoclonus. The underlying cause of this pathology has yet to be fully elucidated. Myoclonus is a rare side effect of gabapentin (GBP) and has been reported in patients with preexisting myoclonus, mental retardation, chronic static encephalopathy, diffuse brain damage, impaired renal function, or end stage renal disease. We report Though gabapentin has many potential uses, it can cause side effects. Read more about 13 gabapentin side effects here. Benign fasciculation syndrome involves involuntary twitching in your eyes, arms, legs, or other body parts.

Read more about Gabapentin! Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant medication that doctors often prescribe to prevent seizures in people with epilepsy. Learn about its side effects here. Our findings suggest that gabapentin may be an effective treatment for patients with hemifacial spasm with a very good ratio of therapeutic effects to side effects when compared with other drugs currently used. Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by paroxysmal, involuntary twitching of facial muscles on one side of the face innervated by the ipsilateral facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve). The abnormal involuntary firing of the peripheral facial nerve triggers short or longer contractions of muscles of facial expression. HFS is considered a subtype of peripheral (neuromuscular) movement disorder Several medications, including corticosteroids, diuretics, and certain antidepressants, can lead to muscle twitching as a side effect. Muscle twitching, also known as fasciculation, is an involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. While it can be harmless and often resolves on its own, persistent twitching may signal an underlying issue or be a side effect of certain medications Gabapentin is a medication used to treat nerve symptoms in multiple sclerosis such as numbness, muscle twitching, and nerve pain. Originally approved as an anticonvulsant drug for epilepsy, gabapentin is now prescribed off-label to help manage multiple sclerosis symptoms including neuropathic pain and muscle spasms. Gabapentin can help control seizures as well as nerve pain from shingles. It may sometimes cause side effects, especially if you misuse it. Learn more.

Background: Gabapentin (GBP)-induced movement disorders (MDs) are under-recognized adverse drug reactions. They are commonly not discussed with patients, and their sudden occurrence can lead to misdiagnosis. This literature review aims to evaluate the clinical-epidemiological profile, pathological mechanisms, and management of GBP-associated MD.
