Pain and cervical dystonia

CONCLUSION: It is important to ask patients with cervical dystonia about pain and to consider it in treatment planning and evaluation. Vice versa, if pain is present the possibility of a causative dystonia should also be considered. For pain assessment there are some newly developed questionnaires to assess pain in a standardized way in patients with dystonia. Further research is needed to better understand the pathomechanisms of pain in dystonia.PMID:38265520 | DOI:10.1007/s00482-024-00790-5
