Dyskinesias are abnormal movements.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Dyskinesias are abnormal and involuntary movements affecting a part of body, such as eyelids, face, lips, hands, feet, etc.

Treatment is with medications such as trihexiphenidyl, clonazepam, divalproex, tetrabenazine, etc. In some cases, botox injections are also needed.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
