Night Cramps

These involve spasmodic muscle cramping of an unknown etiology (cause) which occurs primarily at night. The most commonly affected muscles are the calf and thigh.

Massage and static stretching may be of some help in decreasing the pain of night cramps but there is no proven preventative measure.
