What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of a personalized exercise program on patients with cervical dystonia who have received botulinum toxin type A injections. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving a comprehensive exercise regimen including stretching and strengthening, and the other receiving only breathing and rhythmic coordination exercises. The aim is to assess improvements in clinical findings and quality of life through these interventions. The study will compare the outcomes between the two groups to determine the effectiveness of the personalized exercise approach.
