Lead Sponsor
Hospital Avicenne
Brief Summary

Dystonia is a disabling symptom affecting both patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP).

Botulinum toxinum (BoNT), by blocking muscle contraction, is a possible treatment for focal dystonia.

The benefit of BoNT treatment has been proven in some focal dystonia associated with PD or AP.

The investigators aim to give an overview of the efficacy of BoNT in a variety of focal dystonia in a large cohort of parkinsonian patients.
