Cervical dystonia (CD) involves clinical and motor manifestations, and visual and cognitive dysfunctions may also be frequent.
To evaluate functional vision, visual attention, and cognitive aspects in patients with CD compared with a control group.
Fifty patients with CD were assessed using the Useful Field of View Test (UFOV), the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the Trail Making Tests (TMT-A and TMT-B), and compared with an identical number of health controls matched by sex, age, and educational level.
No differences were seen between the groups in terms of MMSE score ( = 0.481), but the CD patient group had poorer scores for the TMA-A ( = 0.004) and TMT-B ( = 0.004). For the UFOV subtests, a decrease was found for visual processing speed ( < 0.001), divided attention ( < 0.001), and selective attention ( = 0.001), as well as higher frequency in the categories with higher risk index in the UFOV test ( < 0.001).
Patients with CD may exhibit decreased functional vision and visual attention, as well as higher risk in performing complex activities.
颈部肌张力障碍（CD）涉及临床和运动表现，视觉和认知功能障碍也可能很常见。
与对照组相比，评估CD患者的功能性视力、视觉注意力和认知方面。
使用有用视野测试（UFOV）、简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）和连线测验（TMT - A和TMT - B）对50例CD患者进行评估，并与相同数量的按性别、年龄和教育水平匹配的健康对照者进行比较。
两组在MMSE评分方面未见差异（P = 0.481），但CD患者组在TMA - A（P = 0.004）和TMT - B（P = 0.004）上得分较低。对于UFOV子测试，发现视觉处理速度（P < 0.001）、分散注意力（P < 0.
