Summary
This study looked at 102 adults with dystonia, a condition causing involuntary muscle contractions. Researchers used questionnaires and brain wave recordings to assess memory, attention, mood, and decision-making. The goal was to better understand the non-motor symptoms of dystonia, which can affect quality of life.
