The effect of Kinesio Taping therapy on Cervical Dystonia
Objective: To test the efficacy of kinesio taping treatment as an adjunct therapy to botulinum toxin in the treatment of cervical dystonia. Background: Botulinum toxin…Altered sensory processing in somatosensory and auditory domains in laryngeal dystonia
Objective: To delineate correlates of altered sensory processing in laryngeal dystonia (LD) in both presence and absence of somatosensory input and their modulation by botulinum…Defective human motion perception in cervical dystonia correlates with coexisting tremor
Objective: To evaluate whether perceptual encoding of body motion in cervical dystonia (CD) is associated with co-existing tremor. Background: Patients with focal CD or hand…Domain-specific impact of mood/anxiety disorders on quality of life in idiopathic dystonia
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between mood/anxiety disorder severity and quality of life (QoL) domains in adult-onset idiopathic dystonia (AOID). Background: Depression and anxiety exert…Comparison of motor and non-motor symptoms in operated and medically treated dystonia patients
Objective: To evaluate motor and psychiatric symptoms as well as quality of life (QoL) in dystonia patients treated with botulinumtoxin/medication (non-DBS group) and deep brain…Dystonic opisthotonus: A clinical clue to neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation in young adults
Objective: To describe the diagnostic value of dystonic opisthotonus as a clinical clue towards a diagnosis of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation. Background: Differential diagnosis…Clinical profile and treatment response patterns in patients of Truncal Dystonia: A retrospective case series from a tertiary care hospital in India
Objective: To identify the clinical profile and treatment response patterns in patients with truncal dystonia. Background: Truncal Dystonia is characterized by involuntary contractions and postures…Interactions within Fine Motor Control Network in Task-specific Dystonia
Objective: Using a novel methodology combining neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS), we explored the difference in the interactions between the principal nodes of the fine…Neuromuscular electrical stimulation for the treatment of jaw-closing dystonia
Objective: To measure whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) increases jaw-opening distance and improves quality-of-life in jaw-closing dystonia patients. Background: An index case with progressive supranuclear…Social Cognition, Neuropsychological functioning & Mood Disorder in Cervical Dystonia (CD)
Objective: This study investigated social cognition, neuropsychological functioning and mood disorder in CD. Background: CD is a hyperkinetic movement disorder of unknown cause. Although historically…
