Core Tip	Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder affecting different regions of the body with variable responses to current interventions. Pharmacological agents, such as oral anticholinergic and botulinum toxin injection, play a major role in the initial treatment of patients. However severe and/or refractory cases require the identification and targeting of focal areas for neurosurgical intervention. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targets these anatomical locations to manage symptoms. Surgical ablation procedures and peripheral denervation surgeries also offer potential treatment to patients who do not respond to DBS.
