These cramps impact quality of life and have been identified as an important therapeutic target for clinical trials in CMT.1-4 There is no FDA approved treatment for muscle cramps.5 Mexiletine is a sodium channel blocker approved for treatment of arrhythmias. As a sodium channel blocker, mexiletine offers the promise of effective therapy for muscle cramps.
