Default Dystonia Treatment

Hi and welcome,

I recently ran across something that you might want to take a look at. It is a dystonia case report that you can access by googling: clinical improvement of secondary focal limb dystonia in neurodegenerative disease following a five-day lidocain infusion.

Also, I wanted to share the following in case it might be of help. I have a neighbor who has suffered from cervical dystonia (not RSD) for many years. Because of this her head turns constantly to the side. We have a mild hyperbaric chamber in our home, and I told her that she was welcome to try it if she had her doctor's approval. Amazingly, after only three treatments, she was able to turn and hold her head in a forward position. I would definitely recommend trying hyperbarics if at all possible.

Wishing you the very, very best,
Jeanne

Thank you for your response. How does one purchase a hyperbaric chamber or wher does one get to try this? I will definately google that site. You and previous person so nice. I have 3 weeks to do my research. So I am on it!

Wishing you and everyone here kind thoughts,
Debbie

Default Hyperbarics

Hi Debbie,

You would need to go to a free standing hyperbaric clinic as RSD is not an "approved" application, basically meaning that your insurance will likely be able to avoid paying for treatments. If you send me a private message indicating where you live, I will try to help you in your search.
