Suggest Treatment For Cervical Dystonia Other Than Botox Injections

Hey doc...my father is suffering from cervical dystonia from the past 5 years and his condition is worsening day by day. The doctors advised him to take pacitane but it didn t helped him in any way. Also he was advised to take botox injections but is there some other way to cure this dystonia ?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Treatment modalities for cervical dystonia include 1.drug treatment ( botulinum toxin injection, anti Parkinson' drugs, muscle relaxants, painkillers)
2. Exercises to strengthen cervical muscles, in some cases neck brace,
3. Surgery when conservative treatment fails to control symptoms. Surgery consists on selective denervation surgery. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
