Many institutions around the world carry out research on dystonia. These cover all aspects of dystonia from genetics and cell biology to imaging and neurophysiological studies and clinical research including clinical trials.
Researchers collaborate in different networks such as the Dystonia Coalition in the US and through the European Network for the Study of Dystonia Syndromes.
In the last few years the number of publications on dystonia research have increased as well as congresses specialising in dystonia, such as Hamburg in 2008, Hannover in 2010, and Barcelona in 2011.
