Myoclonus may be caused by a variety of underlying problems. Doctors often separate the types of myoclonus based on their causes, which helps determine treatment. Types of myoclonus include the following categories.

Physiological myoclonus
This type of myoclonus occurs in normal, healthy people and rarely needs treatment. Examples include:

Hiccups
Sleep starts
Shakes or spasms due to anxiety or exercise
Infant muscle twitching during sleep or after a feeding
Essential myoclonus
Essential myoclonus occurs on its own, usually without other symptoms and without being related to any underlying illness. The cause of essential myoclonus is often unexplained (idiopathic) or, in some cases, hereditary.

Epileptic myoclonus
This type of myoclonus occurs as part of an epileptic disorder. Muscle jerks may be the only sign or one of many.

Symptomatic (secondary) myoclonus
This is a common form of myoclonus. Muscle jerks occur as a result of an underlying medical condition, including:

Head or spinal cord injury
Infection
Kidney or liver failure
Lipid storage disease
Chemical or drug poisoning
Prolonged oxygen deprivation
Medication reaction
Autoimmune inflammatory conditions
Metabolic disorders
Nervous conditions that result in secondary myoclonus include:

Stroke
Brain tumor
Huntington's disease
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Alzheimer's disease
Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia
Corticobasal degeneration
Frontotemporal dementia
Multiple system atrophy
