Abstract
Objective: To compile and reveal the clinical importance of botulinum toxin applications in cervical dystonia. Materials and Methods: When we searched the PUBMED database with the keywords ”cervical dystonia botox”, 472 studies were obtained and 104 publications were found when clinical studies were selected. Results: While 38 of the 472 studies in the literature belong to the last ten years, when the options for accessing the full text were filtered, 181 studies were carried out in the last 10 years and the full text of 56 of them could be accessed. Only 9 of these are clinical trials. When the full-text clinical study was selected, 17 studies were obtained, 9 of which were conducted in the last ten years. Conclusion: Cervical dystonia is one of the most common application areas of botox apart from cosmetic use. There are not many studies on physiotherapy in cervical dystonia yet. As a result of the literature review, we think that although botulinum toxin is one of the best treatment options for cervical dystonia, adding physiotherapy to the treatment process will yield better results.

Keywords
