  The muscle spasms can leave patients with their heads frozen at unnatural angles, voices low, breathy or nonexistent and eyelids refusing to open.The most severe form, which leaves individuals so twisted that walking or even standing is difficult, often begins in childhood.The spasms can be sudden and brief, triggered by holding a pen or pick ing up a musical instrument, or almost continuous.

  That includes LeDoux's cautions about botulism injections.He warned that not all patients benefit and even when they do, the injections typically must be repeated every three months.They are expensive, averaging about $1,600 per treatment for patients whose neck muscles are affected.The treatment is covered by most insurance plans.

  LeDoux said a handful of centers also report good results with an approach dubbed deep brain stimulation.It involves implanting an electrode in the brain to block the implicated nerve pathways.It is used primarily to treat those with a form of the syndrome that develops in childhood and can involve muscles throughout the body.
  
  The Dystonia Medical Research Foundation noted that symptoms often worsen in response to stress and depression.
