Writing tremor: Should we look for a TOR1A mutation?
Objective: Writing tremor is not always a primary writing tremor but can undermask a dystonia gene-associated tremor. Background: Dystonia gene-associated tremor corresponds to isolated tremor…Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Generalised Dystonia: Is It The Last Part in The Ship of Theseus
Objective: To evaluate the role of radiosurgical thalamotomy in cases of medically refractory generalised dystonia in current era. Background: Gamma knife radiosurgery has been proved…Movement and postural control in focal dystonia subjects measured using surface electromyography
Objective: To explore the difference in muscle activation during a postural versus movement control task in patients with focal dystonia. Background: Co-contraction of agonist and…Usefulness of ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injections in a case of cervical dystonia
Objective: Case report of a patient with a severe form of cervical dystonia (CD) Background: Unsuccessful treatment with botulinum toxin of CD may result from…Decreased blood beta-Glucosidase activity and GBA mutations in Dystonia
Objective: To report on the observation of decreased levels of GCase in peripheral blood in patients presenting with dystonia without signs of parkinsonism. Background: Glucocerebrosidase…Sleep and other Non Motor Symptoms in Craniofacial Dystonia
Objective: To prospectively study sleep and other non motor symptoms among patients with craniofacial dystonias. Background: Craniofacial dystonia have been shown to be associated with…Acoustical characteristics of speech impairment in Primary Generalized Dystonia
Objective: To describe acoustic features of speech in Primary Generalized Dystonia (PGD) in order to identify potential subtypes of dysarthria, in line with the previous…Abnormal cerebellar learning in cervical dystonia
Objective: This study was conceptualized to asses if patients with cervical dystonia (CD) exhibit deficits in cerebellar function tested by motor adaptation and motor sequence…Temporal discrimination threshold in musician’s dystonia – an endophenotype?
Objective: To compare the temporal discrimination threshold (TDT) between musician's dystonia (MD) patients and healthy controls, and between dystonic and non-dystonic fingers of musicians with…Peripheral trauma elicits a dystonic phenotype in a DYT1 transgenic mouse model
Objective: To induce a dystonic phenotype in DYT1 (hΔGAG3) mice through peripheral trauma in order to analyze metabolic and structural alterations in the striatum. Background:…
