A clinical study of the experimental application of negative practice to two cases of torticollis was reported. Several findings of previous workers were confirmed, including recovery in one case documented both clinically and by electromyography and followed up over a period of 22 months, no evidence of symptom substitution being found. Reasons for the failure of the second case were suggested and discussed.
