Torsion dystonia is a disease characterized by painful muscle contractions resulting in uncontrollable distortions.
The disease is caused by a genetic disorder which results in a defect in a protein called TorsinA.
Dystonia is related to Parkinson's disease, as TorsinA has scientifically been shown to have a neurotherapeutic effect on dopamine receptors.
