Effects of balance training in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: To investigate if patients with cervical dystonia (CD) show more subtle deficits in static and dynamic balance as well as learning a whole body…The association of primary dystonia with tics – chance or new syndrome?
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between dystonia and tics as a primary clinical entity. Background: Primary cranio-cervical dystonia (PCCD) is an idiopathic…Paroxysmal multifocal dystonia with hemiplegic migraine possibly related to novel CACNA1A mutation
Objective: To report a case of a unique clinical presentation of hemiplegic migraine associated with paroxysmal multifocal dystonia possibly related to a novel CACNA1A mutation.…Neuronal responses of pallidal and cerebellar receiving thalamic nuclei to neck exertion in cervical dystonia patients
Objective: The goal of the study was to find differences in spontaneous and neck-related activity of pallidal and cerebellar receiving thalamic nuclei in patients with…Generation and in-depth characterization of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from 10 affected and unaffected carriers of THAP1 mutations
Objective: To establish induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) of affected and unaffected Mutation carriers to investigate disease mechanisms of THAP1 in dystonia. Background: Mutations in…The phenotype of ATP1A3+ Rapid-Onset Dystonia-Parkinsonism (RDP) is broader than previously defined
Objective: To update the phenotype of RDP based on a cohort of ATP1A3 mutation+ individuals. Background: RDP is caused by mutations of the ATP1A3 gene,…Different Characteristics of Action Tremor in Essential Tremor and Tremor Associated with Dystonia
Objective: To explore the characteristics of tremor in patients with essential tremor (ET) and tremor associated with dystonia (TAWD) by using neurophysiology and time frequency…“Stiff Young Woman”: Case report
Objective: To describe a rare presentation of a young-onset Stiff Person Syndrome patient. Background: The Stiff-Person syndrome (SPS) is classically characterized by progressive stiffness with…Zolpidem effect in task specific dystonia – clinical and neurophysiological study
Objective: We conducted a double blind, placebo-controlled crossover study to examine clinical and neurophysiological effect of zolpidem in patients with task specific dystonia. Background: Task…Temporal Discrimination Threshold is Associated with Multiple Regions of Resting-State Brain Activity in Musician’s Dystonia
Objective: To examine temporal discrimination threshold (TDT) score across different but related forms of task-specific focal dystonia and to assess the correlation between TDT alterations…
