Bass guitarist and instructor Scott Devine said that he wears a glove while playing bass guitar because of the condition. He finds that the glove stops the involuntary finger movements. He says it works for him but does not suggest that it may work for everyone with the condition. Medications Anticholinergics such as Artane can be prescribed for off-label use, as some patients have had success. Benzodiazepines, such as Clonazepam, can be used as a muscle relaxant. Other oral medications have been studied for different types of focal dystonia, such as baclofen, tetrabenazine, amantadine, antipsychotics, and amphetamine Procedures This condition is often treated with injections of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A). BoNT/A reduces the symptoms of the disorder but it is not a cure for dystonia. Since the root of the problem is neurological, doctors have explored sensorimotor retraining activities to enable the brain to "rewire" itself and eliminate dystonic movements. The work of several doctors such as Nancy Byl and Joaquin Farias has shown that sensorimotor retraining activities and proprioceptive stimulation can induce neuroplasticity, making it possible for patients to recover substantial function that was lost to focal dystonia. For some dystonias, Deep brain stimulation may be considered where BoNT treatment fails. If the dystonia is cause by an underlying nerve entrapment, surgical decompression has shown to have improvement in some cases. Prognosis Recovery from focal dystonia has varying results, ranging from minimal improvement in function to complete recovery and ranging from weeks to years. Prevention Though studies on prevention of focal dystonia is limited, it is believed for musician's dystonia that mindfulness of muscle use and proper rest can help prevent focal dystonia and injury. Performing arts medicine Musician's dystonia Musician's dystonia treatment studies have yielded varying results. This condition can often be misdiagnosed as psychogenic, as this was previously thought to be its cause. In this population, men are affected more than women from 20 to 60 years of age. Evaluation of musician's dystonia should include history before and after symptom onset and observation of playing the instrument, as deficits can be subtle and considered minor to the general population. Treatment modalities available, such as BoNT/A, leave many musicians unsatisfied due to muscle weakness and lack of improvement in muscle control. In musicians, this is commonly associated with overuse or high volume of practicing. Though musician's dystonia presents initially as task-specific, one study found that the dystonia
