For those who aren't familiar with Stiff Person Syndrome, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) says the rare condition can cause stiff muscles throughout the body and cause a higher sensitivity to noises and touch, leading to muscle spasms. Additionally, the Stiff Person Syndrome Research Foundation notes the disorder can affect the central nervous system, including the brain and the spinal cord.
