ABSTRACT
Focal dystonia is a neurological condition affecting a muscle or group of muscles in a specific part of the body, leading to involuntary muscular contractions. This condition is often treated with medications including muscle relaxants and injections of botulinum toxin. However, some cases do not respond to normal modes of treatment. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be a therapeutic option for patients who are resistant to medical treatment. We report a case of fibromyalgia accompanied by focal hand dystonia, where unilateral DBS improved the patient's focal dystonic movement. We also present a review of the relevant literature.
