Sensory tricks in primary blepharospasm and cervical dystonia
Objective: To study the frequency, types, phenomenology and effectiveness of sensory tricks in primary blepharospasm and cervical dystonia patients. Background: Sensory tricks or geste antagoniste…Categories of psychogenic movement disorders to functional blepharospasm
Objective: 1) To investigate if the categories of psychogenic dystonia (PD) proposed by Gupta and Lang could be applied to psychogenic blepharospasm (PB); 2) To…Disruption of cerebellar connectivity in cervical dystonia
Objective: To evaluate the position of cerebellum in the pathophysiology of cervical dystonia by assessing the differences of cerebellar connectivity when comparing normal subjects and…The prevalence of non- motor symptoms in dystonia
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of non- motor symptoms in patients with idiopathic isolated dystonia and their correlation with disease duration, motor symptoms severity and…Do predictors of good response to deep brain stimulation in primary cervical movement disorders exist?
Objective: To identify CMD patients' selection criteria predictive of a good response to CEN by retrospective analysis of a treated cohort. Background: Continuous Electrical Neuromodulation…An atypical case of adult-onset, levodopa-responsive, paroxysmal dystonia
Objective: To describe a case of adult-onset, levodopa-responsive, paroxysmal dystonia. Background: Adult-onset dystonia cases account for at least 90% of primary dystonia, however, less than…Apraclonidine in blepharospasm
Objective: To describe improvement in blepharospasm with apraclonidine. Background: Blepharospasm is a focal dystonia involving chiefly the orbicularis oculi muscle resulting in involuntary sustained eyelid…Experience of pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) in dystonia at a tertiary care centre in India
Objective: The therapeutic role of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has expanded for severe primary and secondary dystonias. Till date, only a few centres in India…Botulinum toxin A injections changes sensorimotor network activations in cervical dystonia to state more related to physiological condition
Objective: To evaluate botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) effectiveness on network in sensorimotor circuits. Background: Involvement of many cerebellar structures, such basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, premotor…AbobotulinumtoxinA for cervical dystonia: A meta-analysis of injection practices across 5 countries
Objective: To explore national differences in the use of abobotulinumtoxinA (ABO) in the management of cervical dystonia (CD). Background: Botulinum toxin injections (including ABO) are…
