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…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…
