Abstract
We review dystonia treatment results since 1981, including our own findings. Anticholinergics are still the most effective drugs, but less than 50% of patients continue with treatment. The authors recommend a combination of an anticholinergic, a benzodiazepine, and another drug (an antidopaminergic, carbamazepine, or fluperlapine) for the treatment of dystonia.
