The clinical value of SPECT in identifying dystonic muscles of patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of selecting target muscles for botulinum toxin injection by abnormal movement pattern and by…Stop Signal Reaction Time (SSRT) in Dystonia and its Correction after Botulinum Toxin Treatment
Objective: • To compare Stop Signal Reaction Time (SSRT) among patients with Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders and Healthy participants. • To explore the effect of Botulinum…Effects of a combined approach with botulinum toxin (BONT) and motor-learning techniques (MLT) on sensori-motor functional connectivity in patients with cervical dystonia (CD)
Objective: Aim of this study is to evaluate sensori-motor connectivity associated with a multimodal BoNT/MLT teratment in CD patients using advanced Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques.…Postural Stability in Blepharospasm and the Effects of Botulinum Toxin Therapy
Objective: To determine (1) how blepharospasm effects postural stability and (2) to evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin therapy (BoNT-A) on static balance in patients…Cervical dystonia – changes in resting state cerebellar connectivity induced by botulinum toxin
Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the connectivity between large-scale resting state networks and the cerebellum before and after treatment initiation. Background:…Disease Modeling of DYT1 Using Patient Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Objective: To create a resource of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as models for exploring mechanisms of pathogenesis in DYT1 dystonia. Background: DYT1 an autosomal…Phenotypic Heterogeneity and Variability of Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Function in a Dopa-Responsive Dystonia
Objective: To evaluate presynaptic nigrostriatal dopaminergic function in a Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) family with guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH-1) mutation. Background: Mutation of GCH-1 located…Can cerebellar dysfunction help differentiate idiopathic from functional cervical dystonia?
Objective: This study investigated cerebellar function in patients with primary cervical dystonia (CD) and patients with presumed functional dystonia, with the intention to both clarify…Handwriting analysis in Writer’s cramp using a digitizing tablet
Objective: Kinematic analysis of Archimedean spiral drawing in Writer’s cramp (WC) patients compared to healthy participants using a digitizing tablet. Background: Spiral drawing using a…The Prevalence of Dystonic Tremor and Tremor Associated with Dystonia (TAWD) in Patients with Cervical Dystonia
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of dystonic tremor and tremor associated with dystonia (TAWD) in patients with cervical dystonia. Background: The link between dystonia and…
