Dystonia

CONTINUUM: Lifelong Learning in Neurology, 2013
The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the classification, phenomenology, pathophysiology, and treatment of dystonia.A revised definition based on the main phenomenologic features of dystonia has recently been developed in an expert consensus approach. Classification is based on two main axes: clinical features and etiology.

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, 2020
The 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).

Dystonia

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.
