1 Introduction Dystonia is a broad group of movement disorders with involuntary muscle contraction and overactivity. Several regions of the brain have been implicated, suggesting dysfunction of a motor network rather than an abnormality of a specific brain region. There is evidence for impaired nervous system inhibition, abnormal sensory feedback, and maladaptive neural plasticity [1].

Study outcomes Outcome measures included annual total dollars paid, number of payments, and number of physicians paid from each specialty. The reason for each payment and academic/private affiliations of physicians were also collected.
