在睡眠实验室评估了100名无睡眠障碍主诉的受试者的夜间肌阵挛（NM）和夜间肌阵挛活动（NMA）的存在。只有身心健康且未使用任何药物的受试者才被纳入研究。受试者样本的选择具有代表性的比例的女性和男性和广泛的年龄分布。6%的受试者符合NM的临床标准，5%的受试者患有NMA。因此，在总样本中有11%的人注意到NM或NMA。男性中NM或NMA的患病率略高于女性，且与年龄增长呈显著正相关。没有发现NM或NMA的存在与体重、吸烟或饮用含咖啡因饮料之间的关系。当控制每个睡眠阶段的时间时，肌阵挛活动在第二阶段睡眠中最常见。与肌阵挛活动相关的睡眠障碍程度最小，每个受试者每晚两种类型的肌阵挛活动的平均总持续时间仅为约6分钟。此外，只有大约10%的事件与脑电图唤醒有关。
The presence of nocturnal myoclonus (NM) and nocturnal myoclonic activity (NMA) was assessed in the sleep laboratory in 100 subjects without any complaint of sleep disturbance. Subjects were included only if they were physically and mentally healthy and not using any medication. The subject sample was selected to have a representative proportion of women and men and a wide age distribution. Six percent of the subjects met the clinical criteria for NM, and five percent had NMA. Thus, either NM or NMA was noted in 11 percent of the total sample. The prevalence of NM or NMA was slightly higher in men than in women and positively and significantly correlated with increasing age. No relationship was found between the presence of NM or NMA and weight, smoking, or the consumption of caffeinated beverages. When the amount of each sleep stage was controlled for, myoclonic activity occurred most frequently during stage 2 sleep. The degree of sleep disturbance related to myoclonic activity was minimal, with the mean total duration of both types of myoclonic activity per subject-night being only about six minutes. In addition, only about 10 percent of the events were related to EEG arousals.
