Palatal Myoclonus treatment in Aguascalientes

Palatal myoclonus is an uncommon movement disorder in which the soft palate, located at the roof of the mouth, contracts rhythmically and involuntarily. These movements may be continuous and, in some cases, persist even during sleep.

How it shows up: one of the most characteristic signs is a clicking or noise in the ear that the person themselves perceives, along with the sensation of a beat in the throat or palate.

When is it worth checking? If you notice repeated contractions in the palate or a persistent noise in the ear, it is worth investigating.

Which specialist evaluates it? Because it affects the region of the mouth and palate, the dentist can be a first point of contact and provide guidance on where to direct the workup. The recommended course is for a professional to examine the case to determine its origin.
