For concert violinist Ella Laskova playing music was a profound joy. That joy was extinguished suddenly by a rare condition that prevented messages from her brain reaching her fingers but now, a life-changing medical treatment could see her able to return to the stage. Jason Om reports.

Amazing story I also suffer from Focal dystonia and was a professional guitarist and had to give up playing guitar..Totally understand the pain and heartache this has caused her. Great to listen to her beautiful music again. Amazing Thank-you to the wonderful doctors who made this happen.

Do you think there's a chance you could get this treatment? Are you in Australia?

I am 14 years old and have acute musician's focal dystonia and know it is a very complicated thing but from a logical, scientific, and objective perspective, since dystonia, as a condition truly is not actually damage to the brain but a maladaptive rewiring of the brain and given the fact that the brain can always adapt and rewire itself through time as long as the brain has not suffered any type of damage cellularly or structurally, it seems that through consistent and deliberate retraining that shows progress in the recovery journey, the brain's neuroplasticity can eventually rewire the brain back to normal and overcome deeply ingrained changes/neuroplastic limits as dystonia does not actually cause any structural or cellular damage to the brain that prevents neuroplasticity from overcoming these challenges and given the fact that the brain is always technically able to continue rewiring itself. It can be extremely challenging and take a very long time to achieve a full 100% recovery with no dystonic symptoms and sensations from effective retraining but from an objective and scientific perspective, it seems certainly possible. What seems variable for each individual is the rate of recovery and the time it takes rather than the actual possibility of a full 100% recovery, which logically seems to be guaranteed with effective retraining and time considering neuroplasticity's amazing abilities to overcome deeply ingrained and even hard to reverse corrupted neural pathways and the fact that dystonia does not actually cause damage to the brain that prevents neuroplasticity from overcoming these challenges like a stroke or Alzheimer's would. So in conclusion, it seems that as long the retraining results in progress in the recovery process and the retraining is consistent, then disregarding the rate of recovery and time it takes, eventually, the brain will rewire back to normal. What differs for each individual for this challenging and often unpredictable journey is the rate and time it takes to achieve the full 100% recovery. Sidenote: I used a method of piano technique called the Taubman approach and have seen truly significant and noticeable improvement. I started 1.5 months ago and am feeling progress every single day! I am able to play things at a medium-fast tempo completely without triggering my symptoms and am on the road to a full recovery!!!! The most important thing about retraining is finding the most ergonomic/biomechanically correct/efficient way to play your instrument. I pray for you and hope this helps.

По тому, как играют пальцы девочки видно, что дистония не ушла... Лишь слегка облегчились симптомы. Я сама скрипачка и получила тот же недуг. Самое интересное, что в нашем, достаточно большом городе, ни один музыкант понятия не имеет, что это за болезнь. Это очень плохо. О профессиональных заболеваниях музыкантов необходимо рассказывать на уроках в колледжах. Иначе - это круги ада для заболевших!

They say she is completely cured, yet her fingers are still collapsing, perhaps from weakness? It would be good to see a follow-up video in 6 months or a year.
