The treatment must be patient specific, taking into consideration all of the previous and current health complications. The doctor that creates the treatment must have intimate knowledge of the patients health and create a treatment plan that covers all of the symptoms focusing on the most chronic areas. The first step for most with the disorder begins with some form of physical therapy in order for the patient to gain more control over the affected areas. The therapy can help patients with their posture and gain control over the areas of their body that they have the most problems with. The second step in the treatment process is medication. The medications focus on the chemicals released by neurotransmitters in the nervous system, which control muscle movement. The medications on the market today are anticholinergics, benzodiazepines, baclofen, dopaminergic agents/dopamine-depleting agents, and tetrabenazine. Each medication is started on a low dosage and gradually increased to higher doses as the disease progresses and the side effects are known for the individual. A more site-specific treatment is the injection of botulinum toxin. It is injected directly into the muscle and works much the same way the oral medications do—by blocking neurotransmitters. The injections are not a treatment for the disease, but are a means to control its symptoms. A fourth option in the treatment for the symptoms of torsion dystonia is surgery. Surgery is performed only if the patient does not respond to the oral medications or the injections.
Cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis): A type of dystonia that affects the head, neck and spine. It can create problems by the characteristic turning of the head and neck from side to side. Blepharospasm:  This type of dystonia causes involuntary contraction of the eyelids. The main concern for this dystonia is that it can cause the eyelids to close involuntarily and for indefinite periods of time. Oromandibular dystonia: A dystonia of the jaw, lips, and/or the tongue. It can make eating and swallowing very complicated due to the jaw being held open or shut for periods of time. Spasmodic dysphonia: A dystonia of the vocal cords. The complications surrounding this form of dystonia are speech related and can cause symptoms such as speech that wavers, speech that sounds like a whisper, or speech that is hesitant. Writers cramp (occupational dystonia): A dystonia that affects the muscles of the hand and  forearm. It is triggered by attempting to write or execute other fine-motor hand functions. Orofacial-Buccal dystonia (Meiges or Brueghals Syndrome): A combination of blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia. Early-onset torsion dystonia: The most severe type of  dystonia, it begins in an arm or leg and progresses to the rest of the body until the person — in most cases, a child — is reliant on a wheelchair. Treatment
There is no cure for torsion dystonia. However, there are several medical approaches that can be taken in order to lessen the symptoms of the disease.
