Overview

Intervention

Conditions
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) has emerged as a useful therapy for several movement disorders associated with muscle overactivity such as dystonia and jerky movement disorders. At least 2–9% of patients seen in movement disorder clinics suffer from movement disorders with a psychogenic origin and a substantial part of them has jerks. These psychogenic jerky movement disorders cannot be accounted for by a known neurologic syndrome.
