Core Tip

Core Tip: Spasmodic torticollis (ST) is a focal dystonia characterized by involuntary contractions of the neck muscles, significantly impacting daily activities and quality of life. Botulinum toxin is a widely used first-line treatment for ST, but long-term use can lead to reduced efficacy and potential side effects. Surgical interventions may have associated complications. Rehabilitation therapy, including exercise therapy, has potential clinical value as a low-risk treatment option. It can be used as an adjunctive therapy for ST, showing efficacy in improving clinical outcomes and reducing tolerance to botulinum toxin.
