International differences in the baseline characteristics and clinical management of cervical dystonia patients presenting for botulinum toxin treatment in routine practice
Objective: To characterise the demographic and clinical characteristics of cervical dystonia (CD) patients presenting for routine treatment with botulinum neurotoxin-A (BoNT-A) across different regions. Background:…Sensory gating and inhibition in dystonia
Objective: By performing an extensive evaluation of neurophysiological measurements accounting for inhibitory mechanisms within the S1, we aim to find if a central nervous system…Improvement of post-stroke fixed dystonia of upper and lower limb following DBS of internal capsule: Report of two cases
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of chronic stimulation of posterior limb of the internal capsule in two subjects affected by fixed dystonia of the…DYT2 dystonia – Too rare to be found?
Objective: To estimate the frequency of HPCA mutations in Serbian cohort with dystonia. Background: Recently the HPCA gene has been reported as the first putative…Digitally captured Archimedes spiral indices correlate with clinical assessment of dystonia severity
Objective: To determine whether digitized spiral analysis captures severity of dystonia in comparison to motor scores from the clinical gold standard, the Burke-Fahn-Marsden rating scale…Exome sequencing reveals homozygous mutations in SACS, ATCAY, and MCOLN1 in three Pakistani families with complex dystonia
Objective: To elucidate the genetic cause in Pakistani families with recessively inherited disorders with dystonic features. Background: Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained…Seated balance is impaired in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: To investigate whether seated balance is impaired in patients with idiopathic Cervical Dystonia (CD). Background: Idiopathic CD is a movement disorder in which involuntary…Impaired response times to luminance stimuli in dystonia patients indicate disordered superior colliculus processing
Objective: We hypothesise that patients with adult onset isolated focal dystonia (AOIFD) will have slower reaction times to luminance stimuli versus healthy controls due to…A dynamic causal model of the superior colliculus: Inhibitory activity increases with the temporal discrimination threshold
Objective: To investigate if abnormalities observed in the putamen of unaffected first-degree relatives (of cervical dystonia patients) with abnormal temporal discrimination thresholds (TDT) are a…Investigation of head tremor in cervical dystonia: Novel application of virtual reality head mounted display, the oculus rift
Objective: We aim to characterise tremulous head movements in cervical dystonia during eccentric left- and right-going head rotations. Background: Cervical dystonia is the most common…
