2. 2. What are the symptoms of dystonia?

Dystonia can have diverse symptoms depending on the location, age, and cause.  Regardless, they are all different types of unplanned muscle contractions. Examples of such muscle contractions include:

  • Cramping in the foot
  • Involuntary pulling of the neck
  • Uncontrollable blinking
  • Difficulty speaking
  • Recurrent contraction of arms or legs

In people with dystonia, symptoms often worsen during times of stress or fatigue. They also tend to worsen with activity.
