Abstract

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) in writer’s cramp: The use of BoNT to treat limb dystonia requires thoughtful technique including customization of doses and muscle selection. Twelve patients with writer’s cramp (8 with concordant and 4 with discordant MMs) were assessed. On comparison of the measures of dispersion; D group had statistically significant difference between LHWS and RHWS (variance, standard deviation and F ratio) with a larger variance in RHWS, as compared to C group where variances and SD were equal or smaller in the RHWS compared to LHWS. Mean amplitudes for RHWS and LHWS for the same muscles, though differ significantly in statistical terms, showed a consistent pattern only in the fifth muscle with a larger mean amplitude on left side in all patients and were not of value in differentiating between concordant (C) and discordant (D) groups of patients.
