This ‘Cervical Dystonia - Epidemiology Forecast - 2034’ report delivers an in-depth understanding of cervical dystonia, historical and forecasted epidemiology, as well as the trends in the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), and the United Kingdom, and Japan.
Cervical dystonia, also known as spasmodic torticollis, is the most common form of focal dystonia. It is a rare neurological movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions in the neck, resulting in functional impairment, sensory symptoms, muscle spasms, abnormal movements, and posture. The most common abnormal posture associated with cervical dystonia is the twisting of the chin toward a shoulder so that the head rotates sideways (torticollis). Other abnormal postures associated with cervical dystonia include anterocollis, in which the head tips forward; retrocollis, in which the head is tilted backward; or laterocollis, in which the head tilts toward one side. In the majority of cases, cervical dystonia manifests as a specific type or in combination with each other.
It typically begins in middle age and rarely begins in adolescence and young adulthood. Although the exact cause of cervical dystonia is not fully understood, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurochemical factors. Some cases may be associated with specific genetic mutations, while others may result from environmental factors or injury to the brain or neck.
Cervical Dystonia Understanding
Dystonia is a complex neurological condition characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that lead to abnormal movements and posture. It is often classified depending on which parts of the body are affected. Such as focal dystonia, segmental dystonia, generalized dystonia, multifocal dystonia, and others.Cervical dystonia, also known as spasmodic torticollis, is the most common form of focal dystonia.

Cervical Dystonia Diagnosis
A diagnosis of cervical dystonia is based on clinical examination, a detailed patient history, and knowledge of the disorder. No specific laboratory or imaging test confirms a diagnosis of cervical dystonia. There are no abnormalities in laboratory or imaging tests.Cervical Dystonia Epidemiology Perspective by the publisher
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total diagnosed prevalent cases of cervical dystonia, gender-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of cervical dystonia, and type-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of cervical dystonia in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.Cervical Dystonia Detailed Epidemiology Segmentation
- According to these estimates, in 2022, there were approximately 106,252 total diagnosed prevalent cases of cervical dystonia in the 7MM. These cases are expected to increase by 2034.
- Among the 7MM, the US accounted for approximately 57.4%, EU4 and the UK for nearly 39.3%, and Japan for around 3.3% of the total diagnosed prevalent cases of cervical dystonia in 2022.
- The US accounted for approximately 60,992 diagnosed prevalent cases of cervical dystonia in 2022. These cases are expected to increase during the study period.
- Among EU4 and the UK, Germany accounted for the highest diagnosed prevalent cases of cervical dystonia which was nearly 21,172 cases, followed by the UK with nearly 7,932 cases, while Spain accounted for the least cases around 2,688 in 2022. These cases are expected to change during the study period.
- Among the gender-specific cases of cervical dystonia, in EU4 and the UK, females accounted for nearly 29,713 cases, while males accounted for approximately 12,070 cases in 2022.
- According to these estimates, males accounted for nearly 1,623 cases in Japan, while females accounted for around 1,855 cases of cervical dystonia in 2022. These cases are expected to change during the forecast period.
- As per the epidemiology model, the type specific cervical dystonia includes torticollis, laterocollis, retrocollis, and anterocollis. In 2022, of the total diagnosed cervical dystonia cases, torticollis accounted for the highest number of cases, with nearly 2,310 cases, followed by laterocollis with 838 cases, retrocollis with 228, and anterocollis with 102 cases in Japan. These cases are expected to change during the forecast period (2023-2034).
