A recent report from the University of Calabar discusses the clinical presentation and management of peripheral-induced oromandibular dystonia (OMD) in Nigeria. OMD is a rare neurological disorder that affects the jaw muscles and can cause difficulties with chewing, swallowing, and speaking. The report presents a case study of a 33-year-old male patient who experienced pain and abnormal movements in the jaw area. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of medications and physical therapy, leading to significant improvement. The researchers emphasize the importance of effective assessment, diagnosis, and collaboration between healthcare specialties for improved outcomes in OMD cases. [Extracted from the article] |
