Yoshida K. Peripherally induced movement disorders in the stomatognathic system after oral surgical or dental procedures. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024:10.1007/s10006-024-01285-4. [PMID: 39085558 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-024-01285-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Peripherally induced movement disorders (PIMD) are hyperkinetic movement disorders that can occur after injury to a part of the body. This study aimed to identify PIMD in the stomatognathic system following dental or oral surgical procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 229 patients with PIMD (144 women and 85 men; mean age: 53.4 years) triggered by oral surgical or dental interventions were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS The average latency between the procedures and onset of PIMD was 14.3 days. Oral surgery (40.2%), including tooth extraction, trauma treatment, and other surgical procedures, was the most frequent trigger of PIMD. This was followed by general dental treatment, including periodontal, endodontic, and restorative procedures (36.7%), prosthetic treatment (19.7%), and orthodontic treatment (3.5%). PIMD consisted of oromandibular dystonia (73.8%), functional (psychogenic) movement disorders (11.4%), orolingual dyskinesia (7.9%), and hemimasticatory spasms (5.7%). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that even minor alterations in normal anatomy or physiology after dental procedures may result in PIMD in predisposing patients. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Dental professionals should be aware that although infrequently, PIMD can develop after various dental treatments. If such symptoms precipitate, the attending physician should properly explain them to the patient and provide appropriate treatment or consultation with a movement disorder specialist.

Abstract
Hemimasticatory spasm (HMS) is a rare movement disorder characterized by paroxysmal spasms or twitches of the unilateral jaw-closing muscles. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the clinical features of patients with HMS. Data from 17 patients newly diagnosed with HMS (12 females and 5 males; mean age at onset: 46.7 years) who visited our department were retrospectively analyzed, and a literature search based on electronic medical databases from their inception until November 30, 2023, was conducted. A manual search was conducted for articles cited in the related literature. A total of 117 cases (72 females and 45 males; mean age at onset: 37.1 years) from 57 studies were analyzed. The muscles involved were the masseter (97.4%), temporalis (47.9%), and medial pterygoid (6%). Morphea or scleroderma was observed in 23.9% of the patients, and facial hemiatrophy in 27.4%. In 17.9% of the cases, Parry-Romberg syndrome was either complicated or suspected. Typical electromyographic findings included the absence of a silent period during spasms (23.9%) and irregular brief bursts of multiple motor unit potentials. Oral medicines, such as clonazepam or carbamazepine, alleviated the symptoms for some patients but were often unsatisfactory. Botulinum toxin therapy was effective in most cases. Recently, microvascular decompression surgery is increasingly being used, resulting in complete relief in some cases. In conclusion, highly effective modalities are currently available, and it is necessary to raise awareness of HMS to ensure that it can be diagnosed and treated accurately by both medical and dental professionals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lingual dystonia is a subtype of oromandibular dystonia characterized by involuntary contractions of the tongue muscles, often provoked by speaking or eating. METHODS This study reports six Japanese cases (four female and two male, mean age at onset of 49.5 years) with task-specific lingual dystonia during praying. In the early phase, all patients experienced lingual protrusion exclusively during Japanese religious services. When the patients start speaking, the tongues protrude forward, making it difficult to pronounce words. The patients were treated with multimodal treatment, including muscle afferent block (MAB) therapy comprising local anesthetic injection, botulinum toxin (onabotulinumtoxinA) injection, and a sensory trick splint. RESULTS MAB therapy was conducted in five patients (mean time: 5.8), and botulinum toxin injection was administered in four patients (mean time: 8). The injected muscles were the genioglossal muscles and, in one case, the lateral pterygoid muscle. Sensory trick splints were inserted in three patients. After the multimodal therapy, the patients were able to pronounce words smoothly and clearly. Oromandibular Dystonia Rating Scale scores improved significantly (P<0.005) from baseline (187 points) to endpoint (47 points) with a mean follow-up of 4.7 years. CONCLUSION Although this entity is rare, medical and dental professionals should be aware of this peculiar symptom. Multimodal therapy is required to ensure effective treatment of praying-induced lingual dystonia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is a biological toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. BoNT is a potent toxin extensively used in therapeutic interventions. This review provides an updated overview of the mechanisms of action and clinical applications of BoNT in head and facial region. STUDY SELECTION MEDLINE/PubMed searches were conducted using the terms "botulinum neurotoxin" and "dentistry" along with a combination of other related terms. In addition, studies were manually selected from reference lists of the selected articles. RESULTS The Food and Drug Administration in the United States initially approved BoNT to treat strabismus, blepharospasm, and hemifacial spasms. The use of BoNT in dermatology and cosmetics has been widely established and has created a revolution in these fields. Over the years, its applications in various medical specialties have expanded widely. Owing to its safety, efficacy, and long duration of action, it is well-accepted by patients. BoNT/A and BoNT/B are widely used in clinical practice. Several off-label uses of BoNT in the dental fraternity have yielded promising results. We have elaborated on the speculated mechanism of action, dosage, effective sites of injection, and adverse effects of each therapeutic application. The various clinical indications for BoNT include bruxism, myofascial pain, temporomandibular joint dislocation, hemifacial pain, orofacial dystonia, facial paralysis, chronic migraine, and trigeminal neuralgia. CONCLUSIONS BoNT is a safe treatment that can be used effectively, provided that the clinician has adequate knowledge regarding the mechanism, injection techniques, and local and systemic side effects and that it is administered cautiously and purposefully.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To comprehensively investigate excitability in face and hand M1 and sensorimotor integration in oromandibular dystonia (OMD) patients. METHODS Short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), intracortical facilitation (ICF), short (SAI) and long (LAI) afferent inhibition were investigated in face and hand M1 using transcranial magnetic stimulation protocols in 10 OMD patients. Data were compared with those obtained in 10 patients with focal hand dystonia (FHD), in 10 patients with blepharospasm (BSP), and 10 matched healthy subjects (HS). RESULTS Results demonstrated that in OMD patients SICI was reduced in face M1 (p < 0.001), but not in hand M1, compared to HS. In FHD, SICI was significantly impaired in hand M1 (p = 0.029), but not in face M1. In BSP, SICI was normal in both face and hand M1 while ICF and LAI were normal in all patient groups and cortical area tested. SAI was significantly reduced (p = 0.003) only in the face M1 of OMD patients. CONCLUSIONS In OMD, SICI and SAI were significantly reduced. These abnormalities are specific to the motor cortical area innervating the muscular district involved in focal dystonia. SIGNIFICANCE In OMD, the integration between sensory inflow and motor output seem to be disrupted at cortical level with topographic specificity.

Abstract
Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) induces severe motor impairments, such as masticatory disturbances, dysphagia, and dysarthria, resulting in a serious decline in quality of life. Non-invasive brain-imaging techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are powerful approaches that can elucidate human cortical activity with high temporal resolution. Previous studies with EEG and MEG have revealed that movements in the stomatognathic system are regulated by the bilateral central cortex. Recently, in addition to the standard therapy of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection into the affected muscles, bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been applied for the treatment of OMD. However, some patients' OMD symptoms do not improve sufficiently after DBS, and they require additional BoNT therapy. In this review, we provide an overview of the unique central spatiotemporal processing mechanisms in these regions in the bilateral cortex using EEG and MEG, as they relate to the sensorimotor functions of the stomatognathic system. Increased knowledge regarding the neurophysiological underpinnings of the stomatognathic system will improve our understanding of OMD and other movement disorders, as well as aid the development of potential novel approaches such as combination treatment with BoNT injection and DBS or non-invasive cortical current stimulation therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tardive Oromandibular Dystonia is an iatrogenic drug-induced movement form of extrapyramidal symptoms associated primarily with chronic consumption of dopamine receptor blocking agents. Tardive symptoms attributable to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors antidepressants are far less prevalent. CLINICAL CASE The authors will present a clinical case and management, from the dental specialist perspective, of a 55-year-old female patient who developed tardive oromandibular dystonia induced by Trazodone prescribed for sleep insomnia. CONCLUSIONS Trazodone-induced oromandibular dystonia is extremely rare. Early identification and assessment of tardive symptoms are imperative for successful treatment. Trazodone should be prescribed with caution in patients taking other medications with the potential to cause tardive syndromes.

Abstract
Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) refers to a focal dystonia in the stomatognathic system. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in isolated dystonia is associated with non-motor symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and pain, as well as motor symptoms. To evaluate HRQoL in patients with OMD, the therapeutic effects of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) therapy were assessed using a recently developed and validated comprehensive measurement tool called the Oromandibular Dystonia Rating Scale (OMDRS). Altogether, 408 patients (jaw closing dystonia, n = 223; tongue (lingual) dystonia, n = 86; jaw opening dystonia, n = 50; jaw deviation dystonia, n = 23; jaw protrusion dystonia, n = 13; and lip (labial) dystonia, n = 13) were evaluated at baseline and after the end of BoNT therapy or in a stable status. The total OMDRS score reduced significantly from 149.1 to 57.6 (p < 0.001). Mean improvement was 63.1%. All examiner-rated subscales (severity, disability, and pain) and patient-rated questionnaire scores (general, eating, speech, cosmetic, social/family life, sleep, annoyance, mood, and psychosocial function) were significantly lower at the endpoint than at baseline (p < 0.001). The BoNT injection had a highly positive impact on patient HRQoL, and the OMDRS could evaluate both motor phenomena and non-motor symptoms.

Abstract
Movement disorders of the mouth encompass a spectrum of hyperactive movements involving the muscles of the orofacial complex. They are rare conditions and are described in the literature primarily in case reports originating from neurologists, psychiatrists, and the dental community. The focus of this review is to provide a phenomenological description of different oral motor disorders including oromandibular dystonia, orofacial dyskinesia and orolingual tremor, and to offer management strategies for optimal treatment based on the current literature. A literature search of full text studies using PubMed/Medline and Cochrane library combined with a manual search of the reference lists was conducted until June 2021. Results from this search included meta-analyses, systematic reviews, reviews, clinical studies, case series, and case reports published by neurologists, psychiatrists, dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Data garnered from these sources were used to provide an overview of most commonly encountered movement disorders of the mouth, aiding physicians in recognizing these rare conditions and in initiating appropriate therapy.

Abstract
Various movement disorders, such as oromandibular dystonia, oral dyskinesia, bruxism, functional (psychogenic) movement disorder, and tremors, exist in the stomatognathic system. Most patients experiencing involuntary movements due to these disorders visit dentists or oral surgeons, who may be the first healthcare providers. However, differential diagnoses require neurological and dental knowledge. This study aimed to review scientific advances in botulinum toxin therapy for these conditions. The results indicated that botulinum toxin injection is effective and safe, with few side effects in most cases when properly administered by an experienced clinician. The diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders in the stomatognathic system require both neurological and dental or oral surgical knowledge and skills, and well-designed multicenter trials with a multidisciplinary team approach must be necessary to ensure accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Abstract
Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a rare form of focal idiopathic dystonia. OMD was clinically identified at the beginning of the 20th century, and the main clinical features have been progressively described over the years. However, OMD has several peculiarities that still remain unexplained, including the high rate of oral trauma, which is often related to the onset of motor symptoms. The purpose of this paper was to formulate a hypothesis regarding the pathophysiology of OMD, starting from the neuroanatomical basis of the masticatory and facial systems and highlighting the features that differentiate this condition from other forms of focal idiopathic dystonia. We provide a brief review of the clinical and etiological features of OMD as well as neurophysiological and neuroimaging findings obtained from studies in patients with OMD. We discuss possible pathophysiological mechanisms underlying OMD and suggest that abnormalities in sensory input processing may play a prominent role in OMD pathophysiology, possibly triggering a cascade of events that results in sensorimotor cortex network dysfunction. Finally, we identify open questions that future studies should address, including the effect of abnormal sensory input processing and oral trauma on the peculiar neurophysiological abnormalities observed in OMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to characterize clinical features of patients with oromandibular dystonia (OMD) who had temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms. METHODS A retrospective chart review of patients seeking treatment at a tertiary-level orofacial pain clinic from January 2015 through December 2020 was undertaken. The inclusionary criteria consisted of a diagnosis of OMD (International Classification of Diseases, Revision 10 code G24.4), which had been confirmed by a neurologist. RESULTS Eleven patients met the inclusion criteria. Focal dystonia and jaw deviation OMD were the most frequent diagnoses. A dental procedure was a triggering or aggravating factor in 36.4% of patients. All but 2 patients had a sensory trick, or tactile stimulus to a particular body part, and approximately one-half of the patients used an oral appliance as a sensory trick device. All but 1 patient had received a diagnosis of TMD, with myofascial pain of the masticatory muscles being the most prevalent diagnosis. Four patients had received a recommendation for orthodontic treatment. About one-half of the patients had undergone 1 or more invasive dental or maxillofacial surgical interventions to address their dystonia. Anxiety was the most common psychological comorbidity. CONCLUSIONS Because patients with OMD commonly experience TMD symptoms, they can receive a misdiagnosis of TMD while the OMD is overlooked. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Owing to concomitant TMD symptoms, patients most often seek dental consultations and undergo treatments such as orthodontic interventions and temporomandibular joint surgeries. A dentist's competency in recognizing these patients can prevent unnecessary procedures and facilitate appropriate patient care.

[PMID: 34564609 PMCID: PMC8471742 DOI: 10.3390/toxins13090605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2021] [Revised: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The differences in analgesic effects of botulinum toxin type A were compared in 28 patients with trigeminal neuralgia, 53 patients with myofascial temporomandibular disorders, and 89 patients with the jaw closing oromandibular dystonia. The patients were treated by injection of botulinum toxin type A into the masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, and other muscles based on the symptoms of each patient. The pain severity was evaluated using the visual analog scale, pain frequency, and pain scale of the oromandibular dystonia rating scale. Botulinum toxin injection was performed 1068 times in all patients without significant adverse effects. The visual analog, pain frequency, and pain scales at baseline were reduced (p < 0.001) after two, four, eight, and 12 weeks after the first botulinum toxin therapy and at the endpoint. The effects differed significantly (p < 0.001) among the groups (repeated-measures analysis of variance). The mean improvement (0%, no effect; 100%, complete recovery) at the endpoint was 86.8% for trigeminal neuralgia, 80.8% for myofascial pain, and 75.4% for oromandibular dystonia. Injection of the botulinum toxin can be a highly effective and safe method to treat trigeminal neuralgia, myofascial pain, and oromandibular dystonia.

Abstract
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS; the most common phenotype of corticobasal degeneration) are tauopathies with a relentless course, usually starting in the mid-60s and leading to death after an average of 7 years. There is as yet no specific or disease-modifying treatment. Clinical deficits in PSP are numerous, involve the entire neuraxis, and present as several discrete phenotypes. They center on rigidity, bradykinesia, postural instability, gait freezing, supranuclear ocular motor impairment, dysarthria, dysphagia, incontinence, sleep disorders, frontal cognitive dysfunction, and a variety of behavioral changes. CBS presents with prominent and usually asymmetric dystonia, apraxia, myoclonus, pyramidal signs, and cortical sensory loss. The symptoms and deficits of PSP and CBS are amenable to a variety of treatment strategies but most physicians, including many neurologists, are reluctant to care for patients with these conditions because of unfamiliarity with their multiplicity of interacting symptoms and deficits. CurePSP, the organization devoted to support, research, and education for PSP and CBS, created its CurePSP Centers of Care network in North America in 2017 to improve patient access to clinical expertise and develop collaborations. The directors of the 25 centers have created this consensus document outlining best practices in the management of PSP and CBS. They formed a writing committee for each of 12 sub-topics. A 4-member Steering Committee collated and edited the contributions. The result was returned to the entire cohort of authors for further comments, which were considered for incorporation by the Steering Committee. The authors hope that this publication will serve as a convenient guide for all clinicians caring for patients with PSP and CBS and that it will improve care for patients with these devastating but manageable disorders.

Yoshida K. Prevalence and incidence of oromandibular dystonia: an oral and maxillofacial surgery service-based study. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:5755-5764. [PMID: 33956216 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-03878-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oromandibular dystonia is a focal dystonia characterized by sustained or intermittent contractions of the masticatory and/or tongue muscles. This epidemiological study aimed to estimate the prevalence and incidence of oromandibular dystonia in Kyoto (population: 1,465,701). MATERIALS AND METHODS The population sample was citizens of Kyoto who visited our department between 2015 and 2019 and were differentially diagnosed by an oromandibular dystonia specialist having idiopathic (primary) and acquired (secondary) oromandibular dystonia. A total of 144 patients (100 women and 44 men; mean age, 57.5 years) were analyzed for clinical features, and the prevalence (prevalence date, January 1, 2020) and annual incidence were estimated. RESULTS The male-to-female ratio was 1:2.3 (p<0.001). Age at onset was significantly (p<0.01) earlier in men (47.5 years) than that in women (56.9 years). The crude prevalence of oromandibular dystonia was estimated at 9.8 per 100,000 persons (95% confidence interval: 8.3-11.6) (idiopathic dystonia, 5.7 [4.6-7.1]; tardive dystonia, 3.4 [2.5-4.5]) and incidence at 2.0 (1.3-2.8) per 100,000 person-years (idiopathic dystonia, 1.2 [0.68-1.9], tardive dystonia, 0.68 [0.32-1.3]). The prevalence was 13.0 (10.5-15.8) in women and 6.3 (4.6-8.5) in men. All age groups showed female predominance. The highest prevalence was 23.6 (14.4-36.5) in women aged 60-69 years. CONCLUSIONS As this is an oral and maxillofacial surgery service-based study, the actual prevalence of oromandibular dystonia may be even higher. CLINICAL RELEVANCE It was suggested that oromandibular dystonia might be more common than cervical dystonia or blepharospasm.

Abstract
Oromandibular dystonia is characterized by tonic or clonic involuntary spasms of the masticatory, lingual and / or muscles in the stomatognathic system. It is often misdiagnosed as craniomandibular dysfunction or psychiatric disease. According to clinical features, the oromandibular dystonia is classified into 6 subtypes (jaw closing-, jaw opening-, tongue-, jaw deviation-, jaw protrusion-, and lip dystonia). There are several treatment methods like botulinum toxin injection, muscle afferent block (injection of lidocaine and alcohol into the masticatory or tongue muscles for blocking muscle afferents from muscle spindle), occlusal splint, and oral surgery (coronoidotomy). Most of patients can be treated successfully according to subtype by combination of these treatments. Special treatment recommendations for each subtype were described in this focus article. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of oral dystonia requires comprehensive knowledge and skills of both oral and maxillofacial surgery and neurology. Therefore, collaboration among these departments is very important.

Abstract
Background: Oromandibular dystonia manifests with sustained or task-specific contractions of the masticatory, tongue, and/or other muscles in the stomatognathic system. Since its symptoms can vary, it has been difficult to objectively measure disease severity and post-treatment changes. Objective: To develop and validate a comprehensive measurement tool for oromandibular dystonia. Methods: An examiner-rated scale included three subscales for severity, disability, and pain, modified specifically for oromandibular dystonia from the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale-2. To evaluate the severity of each subtype of oromandibular dystonia, four of the six items were selected according to the subtype (jaw closing dystonia, tongue dystonia, jaw opening dystonia, jaw deviation [protrusion] dystonia, and lip dystonia). A patient-administered questionnaire based on clinical features and other relevant aspects associated with oromandibular dystonia was developed, which included five subscales: general, eating, speech, cosmetic, and social/family life. The questionnaire, examiner-rated scale, and four subscales (sleep, annoyance, mood, and psychosocial functioning) of the Cervical Dystonia Impact Profile-58 were combined to construct the oromandibular dystonia rating scale (OMDRS). The reliability and validity of the scale were assessed using clinimetric testing. Results: Six hundred and eighteen patients with oromandibular dystonia (394 women and 224 men; mean age, 51.7 years) were evaluated by the OMDRS. The overall OMDRS showed high-level internal consistency measured by Cronbach's alpha (0.95) with a logical factor structure. Cronbach's alpha for the subscales was satisfactory to excellent, ranging from 0.72 to 0.94. All items revealed acceptable inter-rater reliability (kappa > 0.4, interclass correlation coefficient > 0.6). Repeated ratings of videotapes revealed acceptable intra-rater reliability for all items (kappa > 0.76, interclass correlation coefficient > 0.86). Test-retest reliability showed a significant (p < 0.001) correlation efficiency. The OMDRS showed significant (p < 0.001) convergent and discriminant validity and significant (p < 0.001) sensitivity to changes after botulinum toxin therapy. Conclusion: The OMDRS can be useful for the comprehensive evaluation of disease severity, disability, psychosocial functioning, and impact on the quality of life as well as therapeutic changes in patients with oromandibular dystonia.

Abstract
Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a clinically and etiologically heterogeneous form of focal dystonia with variable social and functional implications. The results of pharmacological treatment and botulinum toxin infiltrations are often unsatisfactory. We performed a systematic review on the effects of oral and dental appliances in patients with OMD. Most of the reports in the literature are single subject descriptions or small case series with a considerable variability in the type of dystonia, the type of evaluated appliances and in the outcome measures. Only one report included a large group of unselected patients that were evaluated with a mixture of outcome measures. Although it appears that a number of OMD patients, especially those who benefit from sensory tricks, may sustain some improvement with the use of oral appliances, no definitive conclusions can be drawn about the type of patients that may benefit, nor about the preferred type or mode of appliance. More research in this field is needed, using standardized approaches and clearly defined outcome measures in larger cohorts of OMD patients that are clinically and diagnostically well characterized.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with oromandibular dystonia (OMD) presenting to an academic orofacial pain clinic. OMD diagnosis was based on clinical signs and symptoms, presenting in varied forms and severities. Knowledge of clinical characteristics would help in early diagnosis and treatment of OMD. STUDY DESIGN In this retrospective study, we identified patients with OMD (International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-9 diagnostic code 333.82 and ICD-10 code G24.4) who presented at the clinic from October 2012 to December 2017. Additional selection criteria were age greater than 18 years and confirmation of OMD diagnosis with at least 1 follow-up visit. RESULTS Over a 5-year period, 22 patients with OMD were identified according to the ICD diagnostic codes, and of those, 6 patients met the selection criteria corresponding to a prevalence of 170 per 100,000 (95% confidence interval [CI] 70-390). The most common chief complaint was jaw pain (67%), and all patients had associated diagnosis of myofascial pain of masticatory muscles. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of patients with OMD in an academic orofacial pain clinic is higher than previously reported in population-based studies. The presentation of OMD often includes temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), with involvement of various masticatory muscles.

Abstract
Background: Functional (psychogenic) movement disorders often have distinguishable clinical features in the orofacial region. Tonic mandibular deviation accompanying ipsilateral downward and lateral lip pulling is the most common phenotype seen in patients with facial functional movement disorders. However, functional movement disorders in the stomatognathic system are underrecognized. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and phenomenology in patients with functional movement disorders in the stomatognathic system. Methods: Ten-item inclusion criteria (point range: 0-10) for functional movement disorders in the stomatognathic system was produced, based on previously established criteria for functional movement disorders and general signs of functional facial dystonia, to determine subject inclusion. The criteria included inconsistency, incongruence, and paroxysm in symptoms; rapid onset; distractibility; suggestibility; static course; spreading to multiple sites; spontaneous remission; and lack of sensory tricks. Fifty-eight patients [42 women (72.4%), 16 men (27.6%); mean age: 46.2 years] scored over 7 points on the criteria and were included in further analyses. Characteristic features, including the pattern and site of abnormal movements, were assessed in clinical examination. Results: Frequent items in the scale were inconsistent symptoms (93.1%), incongruous symptoms (91.4%), spreading to multiple sites (89.7%), paroxysmal symptoms (86.2%), and lack of sensory tricks (81%). Sixty percent of patients exhibited a pattern resembling dystonia. Some patients had a combination of organic and functional disease. Common involuntary movements included jaw deviation (74.1%), jaw closing (50%), lip pulling (34.5%), and tongue movement (31%). A functional dystonia phenotype (unilateral lower lip pulling and jaw deviation) was observed in 26 patients (44.8%). Characteristic features of functional stomatognathic movement disorders were rapidly repeating mandibular (lateral or tapping) and tongue movements (27.6%), which fluctuated in speed and direction. Conclusion: In 58 patients with functional movement disorders in the stomatognathic system, the functional dystonia phenotype was observed in 44.8%. Furthermore, 27.6% of patients showed the most characteristic type of functional stomatognathic movement disorders: very fast repeated jaw and/or lingual movements.

Abstract
Lingual dystonia is a debilitating type of oromandibular dystonia characterized by involuntary, often task-specific, contractions of the tongue muscle activated by speaking or eating. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) has been used to treat lingual dystonia; however, it is known to cause serious complications, such as dysphasia and aspiration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of individualized BoNT therapy for lingual dystonia. One-hundred-and-seventy-two patients (102 females and 70 males, mean age: 46.2 years) with lingual dystonia were classified into four subtypes based on symptoms of involuntary tongue movements: protrusion (68.6%), retraction (16.9%), curling (7.6%), and laterotrusion (7.0%). Patients were treated with BoNT injection into the genioglossus and/or intrinsic muscles via individualized submandibular and/or intraoral routes. Results were compared before and after BoNT therapy. Botulinum neurotoxin was injected in 136 patients (mean: 4.8 injections). Clinical sub-scores (mastication, speech, pain, and discomfort) in a disease-specific rating scale were reduced significantly (p < 0.001) after administration. Comprehensive improvement after BoNT injection, assessed using the rating scale, was 77.6%. The curling type (81.9%) showed the greatest improvement, while the retraction type showed the least improvement (67.9%). Mild and transient dysphasia occurred in 12.5% of patients (3.7% of total injections) but disappeared spontaneously within several days to two weeks. No serious side effects were observed. With careful diagnosis of subtypes and a detailed understanding of lingual muscle anatomy, individualized BoNT injection into dystonic lingual muscles can be effective and safe.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare treatment outcomes following intramuscular injection of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) in patients with recurrent temporomandibular joint dislocation, with and without muscle hyperactivity due to neurological diseases. Thirty-two patients (19 women and 13 men, mean age: 62.3 years) with recurrent temporomandibular joint dislocation were divided into two groups: neurogenic (8 women and 12 men) and habitual (11 women and 1 man). The neurogenic group included patients having neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease or oromandibular dystonia, that are accompanied by muscle hyperactivity. BoNT was administered via intraoral injection to the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle. In total, BoNT injection was administered 102 times (mean 3.2 times/patient). The mean follow-up duration was 29.5 months. The neurogenic group was significantly (p < 0.001) younger (47.3 years) than the habitual group (84.8 years) and required significantly (p < 0.01) more injections (4.1 versus 1.7 times) to achieve a positive outcome. No significant immediate or delayed complications occurred. Thus, intramuscular injection of BoNT into the lateral pterygoid muscle is an effective and safe treatment for habitual temporomandibular joint dislocation. More injections are required in cases of neurogenic temporomandibular joint dislocation than in those of habitual dislocation without muscle hyperactivity.

Abstract
Oromandibular dystonia is a focal dystonia that manifests as involuntary masticatory and/or tongue muscle contractions. This movement disorder is frequently misdiagnosed as a temporomandibular disorder. Hence, it would be useful to establish a method that makes it possible for patients with the condition to find appropriate medical institutions by themselves. The author produced a website Involuntary movements of the stomatognathic region (https://sites. google.com/site/oromandibulardystoniaenglish/) for patients with oromandibular dystonia, which is available in twenty languages. It has been viewed more than 1,000,000 times by individuals from all over the world. The visitors to the site have completed questionnaires and/or sent images or videos of their involuntary movements over the internet. Cyberconsultations (remote diagnosis) were also performed via Skype™. Approximately 1000 patients with involuntary stomatognathic movements visited our department. Only 12.5% of the patients had previously been diagnosed with or were suspected to have dystonia. The findings of this study suggest that the multilingual website has contributed to increasing awareness of oromandibular dystonia and that the provision of basic telemedicine via the internet can aid the diagnosis and treatment of oromandibular dystonia.

Yoshida K. Clinical and Phenomenological Characteristics of Patients with Task-Specific Lingual Dystonia: Possible Association with Occupation. Front Neurol 2017; 8:649. [PMID: 29321757 PMCID: PMC5732148 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2017.00649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2017] [Accepted: 11/17/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lingual dystonia is a subtype of oromandibular dystonia, which is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary sustained or intermittent contraction of the masticatory and/or tongue muscles. Lingual dystonia interferes with important daily activities, such as speaking, chewing, and swallowing, resulting in vocational and social disability. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate a possible relationship between occupation and the development of lingual dystonia. METHODS Phenomenological and clinical characteristics of 95 patients [53 females (55.8%) and 42 males (44.2%), mean age 48.0 years] with task-specific, speech-induced lingual dystonia were analyzed. Structured interviews were carried out to obtain information regarding primary occupation, including overtime work and stress during work. The factors that might have influenced the development of lingual dystonia were estimated using multivariate logistic regression analysis of the 95 patients with lingual dystonia and 95 controls [68 females (71.6%) and 27 males (28.4%), mean age 47.2 years] with temporomandibular disorders. RESULTS Overall, 84.2% of the patients had regular occupations; 73.8% of the patients with regular occupations reported working overtime more than twice a week, and 63.8% of them experienced stress at the workplace. Furthermore, 82.1% of the patients had engaged in occupations that required them to talk to customers or other people under stressful situations over prolonged periods of time for many years (mean: 15.6 years). The most common occupation was sales representative (17.9%), followed by telephone operator (13.7%), customer service representative (10.5%), health care worker (9.5%), waiter or waitress (5.3%), receptionist (5.3%), and cashier (5.3%). Twenty-nine patients (30.5%) had tardive lingual dystonia. Logistic regression analyses revealed that frequent requirements for professional speaking (p = 0.011, odds ratio: 5.66), high stress during work (p = 0.043, odds ratio: 5.4), and neuroleptic use (p = 0.032, odds ratio: 2.52) were significant contributors to the manifestation of lingual dystonia. CONCLUSION Professions in which conversations in stressful situations are unavoidable may trigger lingual dystonia. Therefore, speech-induced lingual dystonia can be regarded as occupational dystonia in certain cases.
