Prevalence of cervical dystonia and spasmodic torticollis in the United States general population.
Parkinsonism & related Disorders 2007 October
PURPOSE: To examine the prevalence of cervical dystonia (CD) in the US population.
METHOD: A survey consisting of relevant demographic and CD-related questions was e-mailed to 2 million people selected from the Shopper's Voice database.
RESULTS: Across a census-weighted sample, 0.280% of 60,062 respondents (79% female, 92% Caucasian) reported a diagnosis of CD and 0.170% reported a diagnosis of ST, indicating possible prevalence of 0.390% of either/both diagnoses. Less than half (42.7%) of those who reported either diagnosis were receiving treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: CD is potentially under-diagnosed and under-treated; approaches to increase awareness of CD and its treatments are needed.
