Although a wide variety of medications can elicit symptoms, the typical antipsychotics are most often responsible. Dystonic reactions (ie, dyskinesias) are characterized by intermittent spasmodic or sustained involuntary contractions of muscles in the face, neck, trunk, pelvis, extremities, and even the larynx.
Acute dystonia, sometimes called an acute dystonic reaction, can occur within hours or days of exposure to a dopamine blocking drug or, less commonly, after an increased dose of a dopamine blocking drug or decreased dose of a concurrent anticholinergic drug (e.g. benztropine).
Neuroleptics (antipsychotics), antiemetics, and antidepressants are the most common causes of drug-induced dystonic reactions. Acute dystonic reactions have been described with every antipsychotic.
Tardive dyskinesia causes involuntary movements most commonly in areas of the face, eyes, and mouth. Dystonia, on the other hand, leads to involuntary muscular contractions that can affect the head, face, and neck.
Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) are symptoms that develop in our body's neurological system that cause involuntary or uncontrolled movements. Those symptoms may be in a variety of locations in the body including the trunk, arms, legs, feet, neck, mouth, and eyes.
Acute dystonic reactions are characterized by involuntary, slow, and sustained contractions of muscle groups which may result in twisting, repetitive movements, and abnormal posturing.
Extrapyramidal symptoms, also called drug-induced movement disorders, describe the side effects caused by certain antipsychotic and other drugs. These side effects include: involuntary or uncontrollable movements. tremors. muscle contractions.
Stress or fatigue may bring on the symptoms or cause them to worsen. People with dystonia often complain of pain and exhaustion because of the constant muscle contractions. If dystonia symptoms occur in childhood, they generally appear first in the foot or hand. But then they quickly progress to the rest of the body.
Tardive dystonia is also focal in onset and starts in the face and neck regions but can unfortunately spread to other body parts. Akathisia is a sensation of motor restlessness that is present in the entire body. Patients experiencing it are extremely uncomfortable and pace to relieve the discomfort.
Acute dystonic reactions are a common and distressing complication of antiemetic and antipsychotic drugs. Treatment with intravenous benztropine is safe and produces rapid relief. Patients who have a possible acute dystonic reaction should initially be treated with benztropine.
The treatment of acute dystonia is usually straightforward and nearly always effective. Intramuscular administration of anticholinergic drugs (for example, biperiden 5 mg or procyclidine 5 mg) or antihistamines (for example, promethazine 50 mg) is usually effective within 20 minutes.
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.
Dystonia can affect just one muscle, a group of muscles or all of your muscles. Symptoms can include tremors, voice problems or a dragging foot. Symptoms often start in childhood. They can also start in the late teens or early adulthood.
Abnormal involuntary motor processes that occur due to underlying disease processes. Abnormal involuntary movements which primarily affect the extremities, trunk, or jaw that occur as a manifestation of an underlying disease process.

They are also classified by patterns of inheritance and by age of onset. Difficulty moving; distortion or impairment of voluntary movement, as in tic, spasm, or myoclonus. Dystonia is a movement disorder which causes involuntary contractions of your muscles.

Drug allergies are another type of reaction. They can be mild or life-threatening. Skin reactions, such as hives and rashes, are the most common type. Anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction, is more rare.

The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
Some people inherit dystonia. Others have it because of another disease. Researchers think that dystonia may be due to a problem in the part of the brain that handles messages about muscle contractions. There is no cure. Doctors use medicines, Botox injections, surgery, physical therapy, and other treatments to reduce or eliminate muscle spasms and pain.
They reduce aches and pains, fight infections, and control problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. But medicines can also cause unwanted reactions. One problem is interactions, which may occur between.
