The epidemiology and phenomenology of non-antipsychotic-induced dystonia: a hybrid systematic-narrative review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medication-induced dystonia (MID) is a movement disorder (MD), characterized by involuntary sustained or intermittent muscle contractions, causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements, postures, or both. Although MID is commonly associated with the use of antipsychotics, it also occurs with many other medications widely used in clinical practice.

Methods

A systematic literature search (from inception to November 2023), using the PubMed and Embase databases, was conducted without language restriction for articles reporting on MID in people without pre-existing MDs, and this for all potentially relevant non-antipsychotic medications. A narrative synthesis of the available evidence was undertaken.

Results

MID is common (1 to 10%) with certain antiemetics. Sel
