In order to replicate the results of our previous study of tardive dystonia (TDt) and to enlarge the studied sample, we examined 154 consecutive psychiatric in-patients who had been exposed to neuroleptic drugs for a cumulative period of at least three months. The present study provides further data supporting a distinction between TDt and tardive dyskinesia (TDk). The patients with TDt tend to be younger, male, less exposed to neuroleptic drugs, and to have a more severe movement disorder. TDt appears to be the most frequent form of secondary dystonia, and there is evidence that its prevalence has so far been underestimated.
为了重复我们之前关于迟发性肌张力障碍（TDt）研究的结果并扩大研究样本，我们检查了154例连续的精神科住院患者，这些患者累积服用抗精神病药物至少三个月。本研究提供了进一步的数据，支持将TDt与迟发性运动障碍（TDk）区分开来。TDt患者往往更年轻、为男性、服用抗精神病药物较少，且运动障碍更严重。TDt似乎是继发性肌张力障碍最常见的形式，有证据表明其患病率迄今被低估。
