Abstract

Cervical dystonia, also called spasmodic torticollis, is the most common form of (primary) dystonia. Intramuscular injections with botulinum toxin are the first line of treatment for cervical dystonia. To optimise the treatment response to botulinum toxin correct muscles should be selected. Clinical evaluation is important for muscle selection but the value of additional tests to identify dystonic muscles remains unclear. To evaluate all relevant literature regarding the best approach to select dystonic muscles for treatment with botulinum toxin. We conducted a systematic review of studies that had investigated methods of selecting muscles for treatment with botulinum toxin. In addition, we compared all prospective botulinum toxin trials using either clinical evaluation or polymyographic electromyography for muscle selection. Forty relevant studies were included and polymyographic electromyography recordings were most often employed. In several studies, polymyographic electromyography revealed a different pattern of muscle involvement compared to that found during clinical evaluation. In one randomized controlled trial polymyographic electromyography significantly improved the outcome of botulinum toxin treatment. A limited num...Continue Reading
