We evaluated the medical and psychosocial experiences of 59 patients with idiopathic spasmodic torticollis (ST) by means of a structured questionnaire. The results generally corresponded with those of other studies in the literature. Diagnosis is delayed in many patients, and ST negatively influences the patients' social lives, Because drug treatment and physiotherapy are only of sufficient value in a minority, most patients seek benefit from numerous other therapies, none of which has been shown to improve ST.</p
