do you know about dystonia? What is the best procedure to cure it?

Question

It's involuntary movements of the muscles.

Answer 1

Drugs, such as anticholinergics which act as an inhibitor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, may provide some relief. Clonazepam, an anti-seizure medicine, is also sometimes prescribed. However, for most sufferers their effects are limited. Botulinum toxin injections into affected muscles have proved quite successful in providing some relief for around 3-6 months, depending on the kind of dystonia. The injections have to be repeated and around 15% of recipients develop immunity to the toxin. There is a Type A and Type B toxin approved for treatment of dystonia; often those that develop resistance to Type A may be able to use Type B.

Surgery, such as the denervation of selected muscles, may also provide some relief. Recently, the procedure of deep brain stimulation has proved successful in a number of cases of severe generalised dystonia.
