title: Post whiplash dystonia well controlled by transcutaneous electrical nervous stimulation (TENS): case report.
abstract: It has been established that peripheral trauma can cause focal and generalized dystonias, which may be difficult to treat. The case presented of a 28-year-old with post whiplash focal dystonia shows that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) may be a useful treatment in the early management of focal dystonias which fail to respond to conventional therapy.
