Painful Tonic Spasm in Neuromyelitis Optica
Arch Neurol 69:1026-1031, Kim, S.M.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Painful tonic spasm is a common symptom in NMO. When associated with myelitis, it is relatively specific to patients with NMO and is most commonly observed during recovery from the first myelitis episode. Patients with NMO presenting with myelitis at disease onset appear to be at higher risk for developing PTS compared with other patients with NMO.
