==Research== There may be an association between widespread fasciculations or [[paresthesia]]s with small fiber neuropathy.<ref>{{cite journal|vauthors = Tzatha E, Langsdorf J, Carey B, Chin RL|url=http://n.neurology.org/content/80/7_Supplement/P01.139|title=Benign fasciculation syndrome as a manifestation of small fiber neuropathy (P01.139)|date = March 18, 2013 | journal= Neurology|volume=80|issue=7 Supplement|doi=10.1212/WNL.80.7_supplement.P01.139 }}</ref><ref name=Tzatha2014>{{cite journal |vauthors=Tzatha E, Chin RL |title=Small fiber abnormalities in skin biopsies of patients with benign fasciculations |journal=J Clin Neuromuscul Dis |volume=16 |issue=1 |pages=12β14 |date=September 2014 |pmid=25137510 |doi=10.1097/CND.0000000000000047 |s2cid=33844882 }}</ref> A 2017 study by Neurology.org also found that Benign Fasciculations are common in the general population, occurring in about 70% of healthy individuals and almost never associated with a serious neuromuscular disorder. Of patients that enrolled in a 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 month study, perceived weakness was reported in 35.3%, 47.1% experienced numbness, 70.6% had tingling, cramps were present in 64.7% and after 24 months, only 5% had their symptoms resolved. Of all the patients, none developed Motor Neuron Disease.<ref>{{cite journal |title=A Prospective Study of Benign Fasciculation Syndrome |url=https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.88.16_supplement.S45.007 |journal=Neurology |date=18 April 2017 |volume=88 |issue=16_supplement |doi=10.1212/WNL.88.16_supplement.S45.007 |access-date=18 April 2017 |last1=Filippakis |first1=Alexandra |last2=Jara |first2=Jordan |last3=Ventura |first3=Nick |last4=Ruthazer |first4=Robin |last5=Russell |first5=James |last6=Ho |first6=Doreen }}</ref>
