The German Dystonia Society was founded in 1993 with Didi Jackson as Chairwoman until 2003. The Board is supported by a Medical Advisory Board and the number of members is now over 1500. 19 regional groups support members actively all over the country. Brochures, leaflets for the different forms of dystonia and a newsletter, which is published twice a year, are available for members. A two day conference with scientific lectures as well as workshops for members is organised each year. The ‘Oppenheim-Prize’ for papers on dystonia research projects especially by young scientists in Germany is awarded every year.
