Handbook of Dystonia provides a wide-ranging overview of the latest research and developments regarding the pathogenesis, evaluation, and management of the disease.
Provides detailed coverage of every available treatment option for dystonia including four categorized sections on:
- medical management
- botulinum toxin injections
- phenol or neurolytic therapy
- surgical intervention
Handbook of Dystonia summarizes what is known about the disorder and dramatically improves the recognition and understanding of this debilitating disease.
Handbook of Dystonia features:
- reviews the genetic factors of dystonia, as well as supplies in-depth coverage of the neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropathology of the disease
- reviews secondary causes of dystonia including drug-induced and psychogenic presentations
- devotes a chapter to non-motor symptoms relating to movement disorders
- contains three chapters focusing on botulinum toxin in the treatment of dystonic disorders
- analyzes surgical approaches for treatment including deep brain stimulation for various types of dystonia
- contains clinical descriptions of idiopathic and task-specific dystonias
