目的：调查美国人群颈肌张力障碍 (CD) 的患病率。方法：通过电子邮件向从 Shopper's Voice(TM) 数据库中选出的 200 万人发送了一项由相关人口统计和 CD 相关问题组成的调查。结果：在人口普查加权样本中，60,062 名受访者（79% 女性，92% 白种人）中有 0.280% 报告诊断为 CD，0.170% 报告诊断为 ST，表明任一/两种诊断的患病率可能为 0.390%。报告任一诊断的人中不到一半（42.7%）正在接受治疗。结论：克罗恩病可能未被充分诊断和治疗；需要采取一些方法来提高对 CD 及其治疗的认识。 (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Purpose: To examine the prevalence of cervical dystonia (CD) in the US population. Method: A survey consisting of relevant demographic and CD-related questions was e-mailed to 2 million people selected from the Shopper's Voice(TM) database. Results: Across a census-weighted sample, 0.280% of 60,062 respondents (79% female, 92% Caucasian) reported a diagnosis of CD and 0.170% reported a diagnosis of ST, indicating possible prevalence of 0.390% of either/both diagnoses. Less than half (42.7%) of those who reported either diagnosis were receiving treatment. Conclusions: CD is potentially under-diagnosed and under-treated; approaches to increase awareness of CD and its treatments are needed. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
