DESCRIPTION:

Dystonia Awareness Month in Canada occurs in September.

Dystonia is characterized by involuntary and sustained muscle spasms, abnormal movements, and postures. Typically it affects the motor pathways in the brain, controlling the recruitment and activity of muscles, resulting in involuntary actions and spasms.

Dystonia can affect movement, posture, speech, sight, and mobility. Living with dystonia can be painful, debilitating, embarrassing, and stigmatizing.

Causes vary and include gene mutations, brain lesions, premature birth, disorders of body biochemistry known as inborn errors of metabolism, and exposure to drugs or chemicals.

Besides the rare dopa-responsive dystonia, dystonia takes the night off and disappears during sleep. Unfortunately, it wakes with its human, and the cycle starts again.

Though rarely fatal, currently, there is no cure. Dystonia is managed through medication, surgery, and other therapies.
