Abstract

Introduction: Involuntary, localised leg cramps are common and typically affect the calf muscles at night.

Methods and outcomes: We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical questions: What are the effects of treatments for idiopathic leg cramps? What are the effects of treatments for leg cramps in pregnancy? We searched: Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and other important databases up to January 2014 (Clinical Evidence reviews are updated periodically; please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this review). We included harms alerts from relevant organisations such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Results: We found 16 studies that met our inclusion criteria. We performed a GRADE evaluation of the quality of evidence for interventions.

Conclusions: In this systematic review we present information relating to the effectiveness and safety of the following interventions: analgesics; anti-epileptic drugs; calcium salts; diltiazem; magnesium salts; multivitamin and mineral supplements; quinine; sodium chloride; stretching exercises; verapamil; vitamin B6 (pyridoxine); and vitamin E.

腿抽筋。

简介：非自愿的局部腿部抽筋很常见，通常会在晚上影响小腿肌肉。方法和结果：我们进行了一项系统综述，旨在回答以下临床问题：特发性腿痉挛的治疗效果如何？治疗妊娠期腿部痉挛有什么效果？我们搜索了截至2014年1月的Medline、Embase、The Cochrane Library和其他重要数据库（临床证据审查定期更新；请查看我们的网站以获取该审查的最新版本）。我们纳入了美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）和英国药品和医疗保健产品监管局（MHRA）等相关组织的危害警报。结果：我们发现16项研究符合我们的纳入标准。我们对干预措施的证据质量进行了GRADE评估。结论：在这项系统综述中，我们提供了与以下干预措施的有效性和安全性有关的信息：止痛药；抗癫痫药物；钙盐；地尔硫卓；镁盐；多种维生素和矿物质补充剂；奎宁；氯化钠；伸展运动；维拉帕米；维生素B6（吡哆醇）；和维生素E。
