Anyone else have cervical dystonia?

I realize this post is from awhile ago. My mom is 82 with cervical dystonia and also has unbearable pain. No doctor or treatment has helped. Looking for ideas for pain management.

Hello @jenandmom and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see you wish to help your mother who has cervical dystonia.

Members like @oldkarl and @sadnancy have experience with this topic and may be a good resource for you.

I thought you might find this video on DBS interesting. The video mentions that this can be used to treat Dystonia.

Also, in case it is beneficial, I've also included some basic information about how Mayo Clinic goes about treatment.
