Development of a New Kinematic Model for Head and Neck Movement Assessment in Cervical Dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study is the development of a new kinematic model for cervical spine to assess abnormal head and neck postures and…Dystonia-like phenotype in a DYT1 rat model after peripheral trauma
Objective: Establishment and characterization of a DYT1 rat model with dystonia-like movements after sciatic nerve crush injury. Background: Penetrance of DYT1 dystonia is markedly reduced…Assessing the involvement of ARSG and RAB12 variants in Musician’s Focal Dystonia from the US.
Objective: To assess the involvement of genetic risk factors in implicated genes in a US cohort with musician's focal dystonia (MFD). Background: MFD affects 1-2%…Striatal Cholinergic Neurons in Cervical Dystonia
Objective: To determine if there is cholinergic neuronal loss in the putamen in cervical dystonia. Background: The etiology of cervical dystonia is unknown. Striatal cholinergic…Research on Relationship between Sensory Tricks of Cervical Dystonia and Function of Cerebral Cortex
Objective: To investigate demography of sensory tricks in cervical dystonia, to discuss relationship between sensory tricks and function of sensorimotor integration in supplementary motor area of…A kinematic analysis of finger tapping in dystonia
Objective: To perform a computerised analysis of finger tapping in patients with dystonia and healthy controls in order to develop a better understanding of the…RAB12 variants and their role in dystonia
Objective: To evaluate the role of mutations in RAB12 in different forms of dystonia. Background: By next generation sequencing, we recently identified an extremely rare…EMG-US guided incobotulinum toxinA treatment of a cohort of musicians affected by upper limb focal dystonia
Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA and the importance of simultaneous US and EMG guide in targeting single finger muscles in musician’s…Head turning onset and velocity in response to a peripheral visual stimulus in cervical dystonia patients, their unaffected relatives with and without abnormal temporal discrimination and healthy controls.
Objective: We postulate that cephalomotor responses (onset of head turning and speed of head turning) to the appearance of a novel peripheral visual stimulus will…Brain volume changes in relation to intracortical inhibition and clinical benefit of pallidal stimulation in dystonia: a combined VBM and TMS study.
Objective: To explore the relationship between brain morphology, clinical effects of bilateral pallidal stimulation (GPi DBS) and intracortical inhibition of the motor cortex in patients…
