Manipulation of afferent inputs may temporarily modulate dystonic spasms. Ten patients with writer's cramp were enrolled in a double-blind, randomized, crossover study in which the effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) and placebo treatment were compared. Patients were evaluated using four measures of dystonic impairment. The TENS group showed a significant improvement that persisted for 3 weeks in three of the four measures.
对传入神经输入进行调控可能会暂时调节肌张力障碍性痉挛。十名患有书写痉挛的患者参与了一项双盲、随机、交叉研究，该研究比较了经皮电刺激（TENS）和安慰剂治疗的效果。使用四项肌张力障碍损伤指标对患者进行评估。TENS组在四项指标中的三项上显示出显著改善，且这种改善持续了3周。
