Resilience Mitigates the Link between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Musician’s Dystonia: A Neuroendocrine and Psychological Perspective
Musicians suffering from musician's dystonia (MD) and healthy musicians were compared concerning resilience, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their stress reactivity.Healthy musicians showed tendencies of higher resilience than MD patients.Resilience appears to decrease the negative effects of ACEs on the development of musician's dystonia.MD patients and healthy musicians did not display differences in their cortisol output when presented with an acute stress task.
