Abstract
The clinical and psychometric comparison of 2 groups of patients, 1 with spasmodic torticollis, the other with operated herniated disc, showed closely related psychological profiles. The most important perturbations were found in spasmodic torticollis and seem related to the disease''s chronicity. In no case was a predominant hysteric structure found. The results of these investigations on the disorder''s etiology were discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
