Abstract | UNLABELLED: METHODS: We identified all patients presenting with musicians' dystonia and prospectively collected data on reproductive and menstrual history from the women with musician's dystonia and female musicians without dystonia. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: Our data reinforce the relation between sex hormones variations and musicians' dystonia. This link should be further explored to identify mechanisms and assess whether certain hormonal interventions might protect from the manifestation of dystonia.
