TLDR
It is indicated that there are many well documented organic cases of PIMDs, which suggests that MDs, such as dystonia, tremor, myoclonus and tics, may under certain circumstances be triggered by peripheral trauma.Abstract:
Objective To perform a systematic review of cases reported in the literature in which a peripheral trauma preceded the onset of a movement disorder (MD). Methods Two reviewers independently searched Medline and EMBASE. Data regarding patient characteristics, type of MD and type of injury were collected, as well as information on the spread of MD, predisposing factors, psychological characteristics, presence of nerve lesions and treatment. Results 133 publications presenting findings on 713 patients with peripherally induced movement disorders (PIMDs) were included. MDs were more frequent in women. The most commonly reported PIMD was fixed dystonia, which was often associated with pain and sensory abnormalities of the affected body part. In 26% of patients, a nerve injury was identified. More than one-third of patients had complex regional pain syndrome; these patients were younger, had a shorter interval before developing MDs and more often showed spread of MD to other body parts. Nearly 15% were diagnosed with a psychogenic movement disorder (PMD). PMD was associated with higher frequencies of fixed dystonia and tremor. In general, response to various treatments, including botulinum toxin administrations, was disappointing. Conclusions While there is overlap in clinical characteristics between PIMDs and PMDs, the current review indicates that there are many well documented organic cases of PIMDs. This suggests that MDs, such as dystonia, tremor, myoclonus and tics, may under certain circumstances (eg, nerve lesions or genetic predisposition) be triggered by peripheral trauma. Potential mechanisms that may explain the underlying pathophysiology are addressed.read more

TL;DR: More investigation into the phenomenology and physiological basis of sensory abnormalities, and about the role of the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and related structures in somatosensory processing, and its effect on motor control, is needed.

TL;DR: The present work is a most painstaking attempt to systematize and elucidate the vast mass of facts which have been accumulated during the labours of recent years.

Neural plasticity after peripheral nerve injury and regeneration.
TL;DR: An important direction for ongoing research is the development of therapeutic strategies that enhance axonal regeneration, promote selective target reinnervation, but are also able to modulate central nervous system reorganization, amplifying those positive adaptive changes that help to improve functional recovery but also diminishing undesirable consequences.

Neuropathic pain and spinal microglia: a big problem from molecules in "small" glia.
TL;DR: It is important to establish how these molecules are activated in spinal microglia following nerve injury and how they cause signaling to neurons in the dorsal horn pain transmission network to lead to new strategies that assist in the diagnosis and management of neuropathic pain.

The syndrome of fixed dystonia: an evaluation of 103 patients
TL;DR: It is concluded that fixed dystonia usually, but not always, occurs after a peripheral injury and overlaps with CRPS, and seven patients who underwent multidisciplinary treatment, including physiotherapy and psychotherapy, experienced partial or complete remission.

Intrathecal Baclofen for the Treatment of Dystonia in Patients with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
TL;DR: Six women who had reflex sympathetic dystrophy with multifocal or generalized tonic dystonia received bolus injections of 50 and 75 microg of baclofen, and in one woman, the pain and violent jerks disappeared and the dystonic posturing of the arm decreased.
