This symbolic Senate resolution (SRES 397) designates September as "Dystonia Awareness Month" to promote public understanding of dystonia, a neurological movement disorder affecting an estimated 250,000-300,000 people in the U.S. It directly supports individuals with dystonia, their families, and veterans who may experience the condition due to service-related injuries. The resolution encourages public awareness activities, recognizes the need for further research, and commends medical professionals working to improve treatment and quality of life for those affected. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to increase visibility and support for the condition.
