External Factors Modulating Pain and Pain-Related Functional Impairment in Cervical Dystonia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about factors modulating pain and pain-related functional impairment in isolated cervical dystonia (CD).

Objective

The aim was to assess the prevalence and interrelationship between pain-modulating factors and pain-related determinants of functional impairment and quality of life in CD.

Methods

We analyzed pain-aggravating and pain-relieving external factors, the degree of pain-related functional impact on routine activities, and the relationship between these and pain severity, using cross-sectional data collected using the Pain in Dystonia Scale (PIDS) from 85 participants with CD. Pairwise correlation analyses and age- and sex-adjusted linear regression models estimated the relationship between pain-modulating factors and pain severity, a
