Exploring the presence of multiple abnormal non-motor features in patients with cervical dystonia.

ABSTRACT: This study's aim was to investigate prevalence of four non-motor symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia and healthy controls to explore whether the presence of multiple non-motor features is associated with cervical dystonia diagnosis. Fifteen patients with cervical dystonia and 15 healthy controls underwent non-invasive testing of spatial discrimination threshold, temporal discrimination threshold, vibration-induced illusion of movement, and kinesthesia. All spatial discrimination threshold, temporal discrimination threshold, and vibration-induced illusion of movement measures were converted to standardized Z scores with scores >2.0 considered abnormal. Any incorrect kinesthesia response was considered abnormal. Prevalence of each abnormal non-motor feature was compared between group
