Twelve patients with writer's cramp were treated with injections of botulinum toxin. The overactive muscles were identified by clinical observation of the subjects while they were writing. Repeated injections were given at 2-week intervals until the optimal response was obtained. Eleven patients rep

## Abstract Writer's cramp (WC) is a form of focal task‐specific dystonia, which is brought on by writing. Although most cases are sporadic, a positive family history is present in 5% to 20% of cases. To date, WC has been reported in several families with primary torsion dystonia, including DYT7, a

Cooling of hand and forearm muscles by immersion in 15 degrees C cold water for 5 minutes improved the writing performance of patients with writer's cramp. Since abnormal processing of muscle spindle afferent discharges contributes to the pathology of writer's cramp, this effect might result from a

## Abstract Previous studies showed a beneficial effect of motor re‐training in task‐specific hand dystonia. Here we examined whether re‐training needs to specifically focus on the task affected by dystonia. 21 patients with writer's cramp were randomly assigned to two types of re‐training: One gro
