Summary

Dystonia is a chronic neurological condition that impacts the quality of life due to decreased mobility, social repercussions caused by others's perception of abnormal involuntary movement and frequent pain. Botulinum toxin has been shown to be effective in reducing pain in dystonia. However, many patients remain painful despite the injections, especially when the decrease in the effect of the latter, performed every 3 months on average. Despite frequent use of TENS in pain relief, only a few small studies studying TENS in dystonia were published and none of them reported TENS effects on dystonic pain using sensory threshold.

This study aimed to quantify the efficacy and tolerance of TENS in the indication of pain related to dystonia, focusing on cervical dystonia which is the most common form of dystonia.
