Personalized multidimensional treatment to relieve dystonia in musicians. Schematic representation of the therapeutic strategy algorithm. As an example, we have introduced scales for inclusion and monitoring: ADDS, Arm Dystonia Disability Scale; CAPS-5, Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale; “th,” severity threshold related to each scale; SMR+, SensoryMotor Retuning personalized by modified Graded Motor Imagery; EMDR+®, EMDR with auditory personalization; S1 neuromodulation, tDCS with the anode on the bilateral somatosensory representation of the whole-body and a double-sized electrode cathode on occipital area.
