We report that repeated administration of salmon calcitonin (20-40 micrograms daily for 30 days) improves dystonic symptoms in patients affected by idiopathic torsion dystonia, blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia syndrome or writer's cramp syndrome. These results support the suggestion that calcitonin may act at central level influencing the extrapyramidal motor system.

Abstract
We report that repeated administration of salmon calcitonin (20-40 micrograms daily for 30 days) improves dystonic symptoms in patients affected by idiopathic torsion dystonia, blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia syndrome or writer's cramp syndrome. These results support the suggestion that calcitonin may act at central level influencing the extrapyramidal motor system.File allegati a questo prodotto
