Neck muscles are very commonly affected producing torticollis or retrocollis. In some cases subtle forms of orofacial dystonia occur without readily ...
etiology-based treatments exist for a few forms of dystonia (“don’t-miss” diagnoses”) and can provide remarkable benefits. They can be grouped into three main categories: neurometabolic disorders

Benztropine mesylate (up to 4 mg/ day throughout the study) could be prescribed for severe or intolerable akathisia, EPS, or dystonia. The double-blind treatment period consisted of a 14-day acute phase followed by a 10-week stabilization phase. Patients were required to remain hospitalized ...
Extrapyramidal adverse events can occur at any time during treatment, with low dose initiation or drug dosage, slow titration, and often reduced cones Adverse events in the external system: acute dystonia and Parkinson like disease can be treated with anticholinergic drugs such as an oral solution ...
All typical antipsychotics also produceextrapyramidal symptoms(EPS) as a side-effect. Extrapyramidal refers to the localization of the motor dysfunction in the spinal tracts. EPS are motor problems that include Parkinsonian-like symptoms (stiffness, tremor, shuffling gait), acutedystonia(abrupt spasms of...
