✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Eleven patients with cranial dystonia were investigated for diurnal variations in disability by means of video recordings. Disability increased significantly from morning to evening. The increase was not related to changes in vigilance levels assessed by dynamic electroencephalogram. Cranial movement disorders display diurnal fluctuations that are probably related to endogenous circadian rhythms.

Improvement in dystonic movements is typically maintained while the trick is performed, but disappears when the geste ends. We investigated the phenomenological features of ge

## Abstract Patients with cranial and cervical dystonia (CCD) suffer from visible involuntary facial, head, and neck movements. Therefore, the social appearance of patients with CCD may be seriously affected and self‐perceived stigma can be a major source of disability. The present study investigat
