message: I am watching "Twisted" on PBS and a woman said it was not known in 1972. When was it named? We need a history section.
* It was identified well before then, and the term dystonia was first used in 1911, but it has been very obscure until recently.  Most research has been done since the 1980s. Yes, a history section would be good.  MeekMark 01:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I have just removed the following subsection from the Dystonia#Treatment section. 
Movement disorders have been known to be associated with a variety of autoimmune diseases, including Sydenham's chorea, pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus, systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, gluten sensitivity, paraneoplastic and autoimmune encephalopathies. Tremors, dystonia, chorea, ballism, Myclonus, parkinsonism, and ataxia may be the initial and even the only presentation of these autoimmune diseases. Although antibodies directed against various cellular components of the central nervous system have been implicated, the pathogenic mechanisms of these autoimmune movement disorders have not yet been fully elucidated. Clinical recognition of these autoimmune movement disorders is critically important as many improve with immunotherapy or dietary modifications, particularly when diagnosed early.[1] Some neurologists[2] find patients with Dystonia benefit through reduced symptoms if they adhere to a strict Gluten-free diet

*The first four sentences are a copy and paste from the abstract of the cited source. Because the abstract is not released on a relevant free license, we can't reproduce it word-for-word. Anybody should be able to reuse and modify almost anything that appears in Wikipedia - and this is not the case with copyrighted material. Do base your contributions on what reliable sources say, but please change them so they say what the source says - but in entirely different language.
*The copy-pasted content discusses movement disorders associated with autoimune diseases, mentions dystonia (in a list of movement disorders) and says clinical recognition of the autoimmune movement disorders is critically important as many improve with immunotherapy or dietary modifications, particularly when diagnosed early. It doesn't say if any of the dystonias respond to immunotherapy or diet modification or, if any do, which ones. 
*The last sentence cites a book outlining the theory of one person. We can't use that as a source. In order to cite that theory - any theory, actually - you will need to demonstrate that it has received significant notice in the scholarly literature (reviewed in peer-reviewed journals, multiple citations in the scholarly literature, etc.), and is taken seriously enough by the author's peers to be worthy of note in a general encyclopedia. 
I apologise for this. I know how irritating it can be. But medical content is strictly constrained. The relevant rules for medical content are our sourcing guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) (WP:MEDRS) and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view (particularly the section WP:DUE).
If you don't have library access to the first source above (many med school libraries allow in-person visitors to access their online journal database), 
*search PubMed (click "Review" in the left column of the results page) and you may find another recent review covering the same territory or
*ask if one of the helpers at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request has access and would be willing to give you a peek. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email)  13:01, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I am not knowledgeable on the topic, but psychiatrists also use the terms dystonia, dystonic, syntonic, and so forth in a psychological sense. See, for example:
https://www.whatispsychology.net/what-is-the-difference-between-ego-syntonic-vs-ego-dystonic/#:~:text=Ego%20syntonic%20and%20ego%20dystonic%20are%20both%20terms,are%20in%20conflict%20with%20one%E2%80%99s%20ideal%20self%20image.
Should this use of the term be made part of this entry?
