Could History Of Head Injuries Cause Extreme Shaking Body In Sleep?

Hello,
The previous history of head injury can result in trigger points in the brain which cause seizure-like activity. Detailed neurological evaluation, Brain imaging scans like MRI, and Electroencephalography are needed at this point. So please follow up with a neurologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
