Palmaris Brevis Syndrome: A Treatable Pseudodystonia.

Published in: Tremor and other hyperkinetic movements (New York, N.Y.) (2021)

Like the task-specific hand dystonias seen in writers and musicians, palmaris brevis syndrome, a pseudodystonia, may be caused and aggravated by extreme repetitive use. Here, we report a case of palmaris brevis syndrome apparently triggered by high-volume use of a pipette and computer mouse and review relevant clinical facets from previously published cases. Treatment must include workplace modifications and may include injections of botulinum toxin.
