Abstract
Patients with dystonia experience involuntary contraction of muscles that may produce painful, twisted postures. This study investigated effects of pain level and pain variability on coping behaviors and daily activities. We hypothesized that substantial changes in pain levels would have similar effects as constant high levels of pain, and expected to see modifications in coping styles for different types of pain. Fifty-eight dystonia patients from four different countries (US, Canada, England, and Australia) completed the Pain Interference and Coping with Health Injuries and Problems Scales.
