Is the cerebellum a good target for neuromodulation in movement disorders?
Objective: To assess the effects of dentate nucleus transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation on patients with cerebellar ataxia of different etiologies. Background: Cerebellar…How do ataxias with oculomotor apraxia look and look like? A comparative controlled multimodal study of AT, AOA1 and AOA2 focusing on video-oculography.
Objective: To perform a multimodal comparison of AT, AOA1 and AOA2 focusing on video-oculography. Background: Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCAs) are heterogeneous disabling inherited neurodegenerative…Living with Ataxia in Ireland 2016–a nationwide survey of 130 Irish patients with inherited Ataxia
Objective: To collect real-life data from a large cohort of patients with inherited ataxia in Ireland, with special attention to the individual ataxia-related healthcare resources…The spectrum of composite autonomic severity score in SCA1, SCA2 and SCA3 patients
Objective: To analyze composite autonomic severity score in patients of spinocerebellar ataxia types 1, 2 and 3. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a progressive neurodegenerative…Effectiveness of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Mice with Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA1).
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in a mouse model of Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 1 (SCA1). Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1…Corticospinal tract dysfunction precede the cerebellar syndrome in spinocerebellar ataxia 2
Objective: To evaluate if corticospinal tract (CST) dysfunction appears before the cerebellar syndrome in SCA2 Background: Studies of corticospinal tract (CST) function in prodromal spinocerebellar…Allelic CACNA1A disorders: a retrospective cohort analysis on clinical course and overlapping features
Objective: To (1) retrospectively study emerging clinical symptoms and disease course in a cohort of patients with genetically proven CACNA1A mutations and (2) to define…Utility of ataxia gene panel testing in diagnosing inherited ataxia: evaluation of an Irish cohort
Objective: To evaluate the utility of gene panel testing in a population of patients with genetically undetermined ataxia attending the Irish National Ataxia clinic. Background:…SPG7-related ataxia in the Irish National Ataxia Clinic cohort: case series
Objective: To present comprehensive clinical, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and genetic findings on SPG7 –related cohort attending the National Ataxia Clinic in Ireland. Background: Hereditary…Potential preclinical gait and balance markers for developing Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS)
Objective: To conduct gait and balance “stress” tests including those with dual task (DT) cognitive interference which we hypothesized would reveal early motor impairments in…
