Excessive fragmentary myoclonus (EFM) consists of brief, asynchronous, twitch-like movements appearing asymmetrically in sleep. The new AASM Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events identifies some EFM scoring criteria but does not provide amplitude criteria for scoring EFM. Older observational series have used 50 μVs. We report data from various amplitude criteria using blinded comparisons.
