Description
C'mon along and join us won't you?...on our Journey of Hope.Hope that's so important in helping you to become yourself again. It can be done.
ST/Dystonia was incorporated in 1989, becoming a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization in 1990 and has been dedicated to helping people with Spasmodic Torticollis (ST) ever since. In this site, you will find the testimonials of others who have been helped; you will find the many benefits we offer you; you will find our "Treatment Center" offering you the major treatments available for you. Just a few years ago not much was available. The advances have been fairly dramatic, however, in what can help you today. It's no longer just oral meds but there is now botox, myobloc, the Selective Denervation Surgery and, coming along fast, the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Operation. And we're here to help advise you of these various treatments.
A new prevalence study, in its first phase, has already been completed and it shows that the number of ST'rs could equal, or surpass, that of Parkinson's disease. The final phase of this study will be finished in 2006 or 2007. The significance will mean more and more research will be done; more of the public will become acquainted with us; the media will get to know us better, as well as the politicians and doctors; and hopefully, the misdiagnosis time will be cut way down.
