While Dystonia may be linked to brain abnormalities as shown in the studies, many more person have cramping due to unreported basic overuse or oversqueezing - otherwise known as repetitive stress injuries (RSI's). But differentiation isn't stated or made clear in the articles or studies.

When a student, salesperson, an administrative assistant, an attorney or journalist gets writer's cramp because they write constantly and instinctively -- though counter-intuitively -- squeeze too hard, they get everyday writer's cramp. The not-too-hard non-medical solution is to just plain stop squeezing -- sometimes hard to do.

While aware of Dystonia and the medical cause-and-effect being described, Dextek does not believe it should be termed Writer's Cramp. Instead, Dystonia or dystonic cramping terms should be used to differentiate it from everyday writer's cramp. A distinction is needed in the type of cramping and that won't imply a brain abnormality resulting in persons running to their nearest neurologist or mental health professional.
