Reference statistics only. FAERS reports are voluntarily submitted and are not incidence rates, safety signals, or causal evidence. The drugs below are ranked by how often this reaction appears on FAERS reports for each drug — high share does not mean the drug caused the reaction, and absence from this list does not mean the reaction never occurred. This is not a symptom checker.

DefinitionNLM MeSH D020821

Acquired and inherited conditions that feature DYSTONIA as a primary manifestation of disease. These disorders are generally divided into generalized dystonias (e.g., dystonia musculorum deformans) and focal dystonias (e.g., writer's cramp). They are also classified by patterns of inheritance and by age of onset.
