Other extrapyramidal and movement disorders (G25) ICD-10-CM
The G25 code range covers other extrapyramidal and movement disorders with 20 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 16 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the G25 range.
Akathisia, Drug-Induced
A condition associated with the use of certain medications and characterized by an internal sense of motor restlessness often described as an inability to resist the urge to move.
Benign Shuddering Attacks
Uncommon, involuntary movements of the head and upper extremities resembling shivering and straining seen in infants and children during normal activities and without impaired consciousness or epileptiform electroencephalogram (EEG). Resolution or improvement by age 2 or 3 is often noted.
Chorea
Involuntary, forcible, rapid, jerky movements that may be subtle or become confluent, markedly altering normal patterns of movement. Hypotonia and pendular reflexes are often associated. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent episodes of chorea as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as CHOREATIC DISORDERS. Chorea is also a frequent manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES.
Essential Tremor
A relatively common disorder characterized by a fairly specific pattern of tremors which are most prominent in the upper extremities and neck, inducing titubations of the head. The tremor is usually mild, but when severe may be disabling. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance may occur in some families (i.e., familial tremor). (Mov Disord 1988;13(1):5-10)
Extrapyramidal Disorder
A movement disorder caused by defects in the basal ganglia. The clinical manifestations include changes in the muscle tone, dyskinesia, and akinesia. Causes include vascular disorders, degenerative disorders, and antipsychotic drugs.
Myoclonus
Involuntary shock-like contractions, irregular in rhythm and amplitude, followed by relaxation, of a muscle or a group of muscles. This condition may be a feature of some CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; (e.g., EPILEPSY, MYOCLONIC). Nocturnal myoclonus is the principal feature of the NOCTURNAL MYOCLONUS SYNDROME. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp102-3).
Restless Legs Syndrome
A disorder characterized by aching or burning sensations in the lower and rarely the upper extremities that occur prior to sleep or may awaken the patient from sleep.
Stiff-Person Syndrome
A condition characterized by persistent spasms (SPASM) involving multiple muscles, primarily in the lower limbs and trunk. The illness tends to occur in the fourth to sixth decade of life, presenting with intermittent spasms that become continuous. Minor sensory stimuli, such as noise and light touch, precipitate severe spasms. Spasms do not occur during sleep and only rarely involve cranial muscles. Respiration may become impaired in advanced cases. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1492; Neurology 1998 Jul;51(1):85-93)
About the G25 Code Range
These nervous system conditions include tremor, tics, myoclonic jerks, chorea, and other movement disorders.
Tremor codes distinguish essential, drug-induced, and other specified forms. G25.3 identifies myoclonus. Chorea separates into drug-induced and other forms. The tic codes distinguish drug-induced tics from other tics of organic origin.
Drug-induced movement disorders also have subdivisions for unspecified disorders, akathisia, and other forms. Other specified disorders include restless legs syndrome, stiff-man syndrome, and benign shuddering attacks. G25.9 identifies an unspecified extrapyramidal or movement disorder.
