Pre-pulse inhibition of blink reflex in cervical dystonia
Objective: We aimed to analyze prepulse inhibition (PPI) of blink reflex (BR) in a group of patients with cervical dystonia (CD) to determine sensory modulation…Sensory tricks in cervical dystonia
Objective: We aimed to analyze frequency and localizations of sensory tricks in patients with cervical dystonia (CD). Background: CD is characterized by continuous or intermittent…Investigation of the influence of the parieto-premotor network on the motor cortex in writer’s cramp using transcranial magnetic stimulation
Objective: We aimed to study the influence of the parieto-premotor network on the motor cortex in patients with writer's cramp. Background: The parietal and premotor…Psychiatric co-morbidity is highly prevalent in idiopathic cervical dystonia and significantly influences health-related quality of life: Results of a controlled study
Objective: The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and factors influencing health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in cervical…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…
