The most common impaired dimension of health was anxiety\/depression (73.6%), followed by pain\/discomfort (68.2%) and usual activities (48%). The median health utility score was 0.80, and the median EQ VAS score was 70.2. Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that disease duration and the scores of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) Part I, and TWSTRS Part III were associated with the health utility scores. After adjusting other parameters, the TWSTRS Part III score and the HDRS score were significantly associated with the EQ VAS scores (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study evaluated HRQoL in patients with cervical dystonia using the Chinese version of the EQ-5D-5L scale. We found that, besides motor symptoms, non-motor symptoms, including depression, pain, and sleep quality, could be greater determinants of HRQoL in patients with cervical dystonia. Management of non-motor symptoms, therefore, may help improve HRQoL in patients with cervical dystonia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2022.895272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]],"date-time":"2022-06-23T06:20:10Z","timestamp":1655965210000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Health-Related
