One example of task-specific focal dystonia is musician's dystonia. Pianists' first symptoms typically develop on the right hand affecting the fingers. String players that requires intensive movement of the left hand will experience symptoms on that side. Guitarists and percussionists can develop dystonia in either hand. Woodwind players whose ability requires both hands, face and mouth are affected in those specific areas. The brass players who requires a lot of muscle to produce sound are affected at the corners of the mouth or jaw. Pain is not usually associated with musicians dystonia. Treatment typically includes Botulinum Toxin and/or Oral Medication. Botulinum Toxin - Botulinum toxic injections are known to be most effective in the treatment of focal dystonia. Botulinum toxin injection remain the first line therapy. Botulinum toxin Type A and B have been approved for treatment of dystonia. Botulinum toxin injections temporarily weaken muscles to decrease the contractions and usually need to be injected every 3 to 4 months. Oral Medication - The most commonly used medications include: anticholinergics (e.g. Artane -trihexyphenidyl),benzodiazepines, baclofen, muscle relaxants. Medications often are given on a trial-and-error basis, to balance between the benefits and potential side effects (dry mouth, drowsiness, anxiety and difficulty urinating).
