The feasibility and clinimetric attributes were analyzed. Data from patients with CD The median total NMS score in CD patients was 5 interquartile range 3—7 , significantly higher than in healthy controls with 1 interquartile range 0. Data quality and acceptability was very satisfactory. As there is no specific, comprehensive, validated tool to assess the burden of NMS in dystonia, the DNMSQuest can bridge this gap and could easily be integrated into clinical practice. Cervical dystonia CD is the most common idiopathic focal dystonia.
About Patients with other forms of idiopathic dystonia as well as patients treated with deep brain stimulation were excluded. All participants provided written informed consent before any study procedure was carried out. The instructions considering the time frame are outlined on the questionnaire. Data monitoring: Data quality was constantly checked during data collection and all missing data were noted and subsequently collected after specific requests based on query lists provided to the different medical centers by TUD.
Data Availability Statement: For the kind of performed study, relevant information about the collected data and the methods used to conduct the research are fully presented in this article.
As data were mostly not normally distributed tested with K. Multiple testing corrections were performed by Bonferroni adjustment.
For discriminative validity, Mann—Whitney and Kruskal—Wallis tests were applied. ICC values higher than 0. Regarding data quality, no relevant data of the included study participants were missing and only five 4.
