Dystonia is a disorder of involuntary sustained muscle contractions. It is commonly classified by age of onset, distribution of involved body regions, and etiology. The pathophysiolgy of this condition is complex and imperfectly understood. This article reviews the epidemiology, genetics, clinical features, and approach to diagnosis and treatment of ...

BMJ clinical evidence, 2016
Dystonia is usually a lifelong condition with persistent pain and disability. Focal dystonia affects a single part of the body; generalised dystonia can affect most or all of the body. It is more common in women, and some types of dystonia are more common in people of European Ashkenazi Jewish descent.We conducted a systematic review and aimed to ...

AbstractTorsion dystonia is characterized by sustained muscle contractions causing twisting and repetitive movements and abnormal postures. The diagnosis can be made difficult, delayed, and often misled by several factors: variability of dystonia presentation, uncertain recognition of the specific physical signs, lack of diagnostic tests, wide ...

Brain Structural Changes in Focal Dystonia—What About Task Specificity? A Multimodal MRI Study
Movement Disorders, 2020The neural basis of task specificity in dystonia is still poorly understood. This study investigated gray and white matter (WM) brain alterations in patients with task‐specific dystonia (TSD) and non‐task‐specific dystonia (NTSD).

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2000
Therapy for most people with dystonia is symptomatic, directed at lessening the intensity of the dystonic contractions. For a small minority of patients (eg, those with dopa-responsive dystonia, Wilson's disease, or psychogenic dystonia), specific therapy directed at one of the many causes of dystonia is available.

Genetic silencing of olivocerebellar synapses causes dystonia-like behaviour in mice
Nature Communications, 2017 Theories of cerebellar function place the inferior olive to cerebellum connection at the centre of motor behaviour. One possible implication of this is that disruption of olivocerebellar signalling could play a major role in initiating motor disease.

Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal movements and postures. Dystonias are clinically and genetically highly heterogeneous. Phenotypically, dystonias are classified as isolated, combined (in combination with another movement disorder), or complex dystonia (usually as one of ...

The Anatomical Basis for Dystonia: The Motor Network Model
Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2017Background The dystonias include a clinically and etiologically very diverse group of disorders. There are both degenerative and non-degenerative subtypes resulting from genetic or acquired causes.

Dysphagia, 2005
A patient is described with some dystonic features related to the preswallowing period of oropharyngeal swallowing in the muscles of deglutition sequentially. This case may be called a "preswallowing dystonia."
