note

NOTE: This sentence does not make sense:

"Relief from spasmodic torticollis is higher in those patients who take anticholinergic agents when compared to other oral medications. 50% of patients who use anticholinergic agents report relief, 21% of patients report relief from clonazepam, 11% of patients report relief from baclofen, and 13% benzodiazepines.[18]"

Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine, so how can 21% of patients report relief from clonazepam, while only 13% report relief from benzodiazepines? Perhaps it's 13% report relief from benzodiazepines other than clonazepam, but this, too does not seem to make sense, as diazepam has much more of an effect on skeletal muscle relaxation than Klonopin (clonazepam).

Suggest that this sentence be revised until these data are re-checked.

The first step to take is to read what the cited source says. I agree that this prose needs a lot of help.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:52, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
