• Fatigue

  We ask about general symptoms (anxious mood, depressed mood, fatigue, pain, and stress) regardless of condition. Last updated: May 14, 2019 [patientslikeme.com]

  Symptoms may interfere with eating and drinking, and fatigue is common due to the exertion required to speak or maintain positioning of the jaw. Individuals may have to learn new ways to accomplish daily tasks. [dystoniacanada.org]

  Early symptoms of dystonia can initially be small occurrences that materialize only after sustained fatigue, stress or physical exertion: involuntary rapid eye blinking or spasms that close the eye dragging, turning or cramping of the foot neck pulling [nspc.com]

  Some early symptoms include: A "dragging leg" Cramping of the foot Involuntary pulling of the neck Uncontrollable blinking Speech difficulties Stress or fatigue may bring on the symptoms or cause them to worsen. [webmd.com]

  Cramping of the hand during writing or fatigue during walking or other manual activities may indicate limb dystonia. Dystonia is also variable in its progression. For some patients, the disease steadily worsens; for others, it plateaus. [aans.org]

  Frequently, jaw-opening OMD is less responsive than jaw-closing, and it is more likely to be associated with dysphagia and dysarthria 13-16. [scielo.br]

  Dysphagia and dysarthria (which account for 10.2 % to 37 % and 0.9 % of complaints, respectively) are the two most common adverse effects of BoNT treatment for OMD [ 37, 42 ]. [intechopen.com]

Clinical characteristics, etiology of brain injury, and pattern of dystonia were analyzed. Patients with clinically significant CD and OMD were treated with BTx and followed for 12 weeks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

By definition, all cases of "dystonia plus" are secondary, although the etiology (eg, neuroleptics, Wilson disease, neuroacanthocytosis, trauma) may not always be obvious. [medlink.com]

Differential diagnosis of oromandibular dystonia and various etiologies were investigated. Neuroimaging studies revealed a left cerebellar infarction. [academiccommons.columbia.edu]

The etiology is unknown but in the idiopathic form is believed to be related to a neurotransmitter defect possible in the basal ganglia. About 20% of patients with brain injuries develop new onset cervical or oromandibular dystonias. [mussenhealth.us]

It prevents specific neurotransmitters from reaching the affected muscles, preventing spasms. Botulinum toxin is administered by injection. One dose usually lasts about 3 months. There may be some initial (temporary) pain at the injection site. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Therefore, to prevent these and other complications, prompt and appropriate treatment of OMD is important. [dx.doi.org]
