RAB12 variants and their role in dystonia
Objective: To evaluate the role of mutations in RAB12 in different forms of dystonia. Background: By next generation sequencing, we recently identified an extremely rare…EMG-US guided incobotulinum toxinA treatment of a cohort of musicians affected by upper limb focal dystonia
Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA and the importance of simultaneous US and EMG guide in targeting single finger muscles in musician’s…Head turning onset and velocity in response to a peripheral visual stimulus in cervical dystonia patients, their unaffected relatives with and without abnormal temporal discrimination and healthy controls.
Objective: We postulate that cephalomotor responses (onset of head turning and speed of head turning) to the appearance of a novel peripheral visual stimulus will…Brain volume changes in relation to intracortical inhibition and clinical benefit of pallidal stimulation in dystonia: a combined VBM and TMS study.
Objective: To explore the relationship between brain morphology, clinical effects of bilateral pallidal stimulation (GPi DBS) and intracortical inhibition of the motor cortex in patients…Disrupted superior collicular activity may reveal cervical dystonia disease pathomechanisms
Objective: To assess by functional magnetic resonance imaging, the response of the superior colliculi to a looming stimulus in cervical dystonia patients and their unaffected…Clinical Relevance of Treatment With OnabotulinumtoxinA in Patients With Cervical Dystonia: Results From the CD Probe Study
Objective: To explore minimal clinically important change perceived by patients as beneficial by the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) using data from the…Oromandibular dystonia (OMD): A Prospective, Single-Blind Trial of AbobotulinumtoxinA (AboA)
Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of AboA in OMD Background: OMD causes involuntary movements of the lower facial, masticatory, and lingual muscles. The…Dystonia treatment in an international cohort: a longitudinal analysis
Objective: To assess the change in therapy for dystonia over time Background: Although botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections are the gold standard therapy for patients with focal…Combined effects of rTMS and botulinum toxin therapy in benign essential blepharospasm
Objective: To determine whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) when added to botulinum toxin (BoNT) therapy improves benign essential blepharospasm…A Comparison of Temporal Discrimination Thresholds in Musicians with and without Dystonia
Objective: To compare the Temporal Discrimination Thresholds (TDT) of Musician’s Dystonia (MD) patients with those of healthy control musicians. Background: The TDT is a measure…
