Effect of alcohol on dystonia.

Abstract
An intravenous infusion of a 250-ml, 10% ethanol solution decreased dystonic scores in five of seven patients with spasmodic torticollis, but had no effect in patients with Meige syndrome, tardive dystonia, or generalized torsion dystonia. Alcohol may temporarily decrease some forms of dystonia.
