Hello,
Focal dystonia is treated with Muscle relaxant like pacetane. Benzodiazepines may help to reduce muscle drive. Local injection of Botox may useful.
Deep brain stimulation also may benefit. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Penchila Prasad Kandikattu , Internal Medicine Specialist
