Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation
The Omnistim® FX² is a neuromuscular stimulation device that provides patterned electrical neuromuscular stimulation (PENS) via cutaneous electrodes placed over relevant musculature. It will be applied for 20 minutes per session. For each patient, there will be 2 sessions per week, spaced 3 to 4 days apart. Each patient will participate in 16 sessions over the 8 weeks of the study. There will be 6 patients total. Omnistim® FX²: The Omnistim® FX² is a neuromuscular stimulation device that provides patterned electrical neuromuscular stimulation (PENS) via cutaneous electrodes placed over relevant musculature. The device mimics physiologic patterns of neuron firing.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from before the first treatment to after the last treatment, usually over 8 weeks.

Questionnaire that assesses quality of life in oromandibular dystonia patients. There are 25 questions total, and each question may be answered as never, seldom, sometimes, often, always. Minimum score is 0, maximum score is 100. A higher score indicates worse quality of life.
