Suggest Management For Spasmodic Torticollis

I was wondering if there have been any breakthroughs on treating spasmodic torticollis. The botox injections are only a temporary mask to a disabling condition. I just spent more than 5 minutes typing out a description which has not shown up here. I need a neurologist/specialist in brain/movement disorders.
