Background: Cervical dystonia (CD) has a high prevalence of anxiety and depression. The relationship between motor severity, mood symptoms and QoL is unclear and how to adequately assess these is also unknown. Instruments like the BAI, BDI and HADS are often used but items within these relating to somatic symptoms might influence the results. Methods: Patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia (CD) were included. The BAI, BDI, HADS, CIDP58 and TWSTRS2- severity score were used for assessment of motor, mood and QoL symptoms. Pearson’s correlations between motor and non-motor symptom scores were assessed. The psychometric properties of the psychiatric tools were measured and principal component analysis performed after identifying items that could correspond to somatic symptoms. Results: 201 participants were included. 42% of participants had either significant depression or anxiety symptoms or both when measured by BAI and BDI and 51% of patients met criteria on HADS. HADS-A and HADS-D, BAI and BDI were poorly correlated with TWSTRS2-S. The HADS-A and HADS-D both showed strong correlation with the sleep subdomain of CDIP58. Psychometric and principal component analysis on 149/201 participants did not reveal factor loadings consistent with the a priori somatic groupings. However mean scores were higher for somatic items. Conclusion: A good score on the CDIP58, a commonly used tool, does not indicate mild disease severity or minimal mood symptoms. Minimal motor symptoms, similarly, also does not imply a positive QoL. Clinicians should be mindful on ideal methods for performing a holistic assessment of CD patients. This likely warrants a combination of motor, QoL and mood assessment tools. |
