    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychology
    • Physical Medicine

    Background:

    • Spasmodic torticollis literature review.
    • Current etiological hypothesis: extrapyramidal disorder exacerbated by stress, lacking unequivocal evidence.
    • Psychological mechanisms suggested but not detailed or tested.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Critically review spasmodic torticollis literature.
    • Evaluate treatment efficacy and outcome assessment.
    • Identify future research directions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of spasmodic torticollis.
    • Analysis of etiological hypotheses and treatment approaches.
    • Summary of outcome measurement techniques.

    Main Results:

    • No unequivocal evidence supports the extrapyramidal disorder hypothesis.
    • Controlled studies for treatments are lacking; outcome assessment is inadequate.
    • Behavioral treatments, particularly EMG feedback training, show some patient benefit.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychologists can significantly contribute to understanding and managing spasmodic torticollis.
    • Further research is needed on etiological factors and treatment effectiveness.
    • Standardized outcome measures are crucial for future spasmodic torticollis research.
