Abstract
This study was aimed at assessing clinical features of camptocormia as one of the dystonia symptoms and evaluating the efficacy of various treatments for this condition. The study involved 39 patients with dystonia and camptocormia symptoms. We analyzed the clinical features of dystonic camptocormia and evaluated the results of pharmacotherapy and botulinum therapy as well as neuromodulation methods, namely transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation. A phased and integrated approach was shown to be required for managing patients with camptocormia caused by dystonic hyperkinesis. Local botulinum toxin injections and deep brain stimulation are the most effective treatments. More extensive use of low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation may be advisable for everyday practical use in patients with dystonic camptocormia.
