Does sex influence the natural history of idiopathic adult-onset dystonia? [PDF]

open access: yes
Background Several earlier studies showed a female predominance in idiopathic adult-onset dystonia (IAOD) affecting the craniocervical area and a male preponderance in limb dystonia. However, sex-related differences may result from bias inherent to study
