“…Training can improve muscle tension and activity, and enhance coordination between muscles. Studies have shown[ 69 ] that motor learning techniques focused on biofeedback can restore sensorimotor, altered body perception and motor control, and improve quality of life in patients with ST. It provides an effective supplementary regime for the treatment of ST.…”

Spasmodic torticollis (ST) is a focal dystonia that affects adults, causing limited muscle control and impacting daily activities and quality of life. The etiology and curative methods for ST remain unclear. Botulinum toxin is widely used as a first-line treatment, but long-term usage can result in reduced tolerance and adverse effects. Rehabilitation therapy, with its minimal side effects and low potential for harm, holds significant clinical value. This article explores the effectiveness of adjunctive therapies, including exercise therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, shockwave therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, vibration therapy, electromyographic biofeedback, and acupuncture, in the treatment of ST. The aim is to provide clinicians with additional treatment options and to discuss the efficacy of rehabilitation therapy for ST.

“…Telemedicine has been used successfully for the evaluation of individuals with CD (17). There is currently an interest in telerehabilitation approaches for this population as indicated in a recently published paper demonstrating telerehabilitation exercises for individuals with CD (18). There is, however, support in the literature for both synchronous and asynchronous tele-interventions for individuals with other movement disorders such as PD (19)(20)(21).…”

Background: Cervical dystonia impacts quality of life and activities of daily living. Botulinum toxin injections, the standard treatment, are not effective for all and often include bouts of recurring symptoms between injections. There is a need for supplementary treatments such as yoga, which has been shown to be beneficial for individuals with chronic neck pain and movement disorders. However, individuals with cervical dystonia experience barriers impeding access to in-person yoga. Thus, alternative delivery methods that can optimize access while maintaining safety must be investigated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility and safety of a synchronous one-on-one tele-yoga intervention for individuals with cervical dystonia.Methods: Individuals with cervical dystonia were enrolled in a single group pilot feasibility study consisting of a 6-weeks tele-yoga intervention bookended by two assessment sessions, ending with a 6-weeks follow-up period and associated final assessment session. The live one-on-one tele-yoga intervention consisted of breathing, postures, and relaxation and was delivered for 30 min twice weekly. Primary outcomes included adherence, adverse events, technological challenges, and usability. Secondary outcomes included enjoyment, yoga status at follow-up, clinically relevant questionnaires, and functional measures.Results: Of the fifteen individuals enrolled, one did not complete the follow-up assessment. Intervention adherence was 93%. No significant adverse events related to the intervention occurred. Manageable technological challenges occurred. Mean usability and enjoyment were high.Conclusions: The implementation of a one-on-one tele-yoga intervention for individuals with cervical dystonia is safe and feasible thus, efficacy trials should be initiated.Clinical Trial Registration:https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04348669, NCT04348669

The diagnostic framework and the therapeutic management of patients with adult dystonia can represent a challenge for clinical neurologists. The objective of the present paper is to delineate diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for dystonia provided by a panel of Italian experts afferent to the Italian Society of Neurology, the Italian Academy for the Study of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders, and the Italian Network on Botulinum Toxin. We first discuss the clinical approach and the instrumental assessment useful for diagnostic purpose. Then, we analyze the pharmacological, surgical, and rehabilitative therapeutic options for adult dystonia. Finally, we propose a hospital-territory network model for adult dystonia management.
