The anatomical basis of genetic dystonia: A multimodal MRI study
Objective: We aimed at investigating structural and functional alterations in asymptomatic (aDYT) and symptomatic dystonia (sDYT) mutation carriers. Background: Most of DYT genotypes follow an…Symptoms of dystonia in a mouse with mutation in Lamb1
Objective: A mouse model that exhibits symptoms appropriate to dystonia will allow investigation underlying circuit abnormalities. Here we tested two hypotheses with the lamb1t mouse:…Deep brain stimulation in three patients with dystonia and severe cerebellar atrophy
Objective: To describe the outcome of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in patients with dystonia and prominent cerebellar atrophy. Background: There is increasing evidence supporting the…Epidemiological and clinical profile of essential blepharospasm and its response to treatment with TBA over a 11-year period
Objective: To report the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients with essential bleaphrospasm from the outpatient clinic of Movement Disorders of the Hospital de Clínicas…Synergistic effects of physical therapy and botulinum toxin in primary cervical dystonia
Objective: To compare standard botulinum toxin (BoNT) versus physical therapy (PT) combined with BoNT in primary cervical dystonia (PCD). Background: PCD is frequently a source…Effects of cerebellar theta-burst stimulation on arm and neck movement kinematics in patients with focal dystonia
Objective: To investigate the influence of the cerebellum on the motor cortex in primary focal dystonia using cerebellar continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) and to evaluate…Dystonia after peripheral nerve injury in DYT1 transgenic rats
Objective: To trigger a dystonic phenotype in a non-dystonic rat DYT1 model by inducing a peripheral nerve injury and to describe a new clinical scoring…Robust sensorimotor deficits in a knock-in mouse model of primary torsion dystonia
Objective: The aim of present study was to (1) generate more powerful tests to detect robust behavioral alterations in the DYT1 knock-in mouse model of…Validation of the XDP-MDSP rating scale for the evaluation of patients with X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP)
Objective: To validate the proposed XDP-MDSP (X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism – The Movement Disorder Society of the Philippines) rating scale in patients clinically diagnosed to have XDP.…Pallidal low frequency activity correlates with dystonic symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between pallidal 4–12 Hz activity and symptom severity as quantified by the Toronto…
