Multi-parameter imaging in hemidystonia responsive to GPi deep brain stimulation
Objective: To present i) imaging data in a case of hemidystonia using structural (diffusion tensor imaging-DTI and fiber tractography-FT) and functional (functional MRI-fMRI and magnetoencephalography-MEG)…Chewing-induced blepharospasm in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Report and discuss a rare presentation of BS. Background: Dystonia is described in untreated Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and is also one of the…Real-time ultrasound for automated analysis and visualization of neck muscles in cervical dystonia
Objective: To demonstrate an automated ultrasound-based method for real-time visualization of neck muscles in cervical dystonia. Background: Understanding of the pattern and extent of muscle…The sense of agency is altered in cervical dystonia
Objective: We investigated whether deficits in motor representation are associated with alterations of the sense of agency in dystonic patients. Background: Abnormalities of the cognitive…Temporal dynamics of pallidal low-frequency oscillations in dystonia
Objective: To assess the occurrence and volatility of 4-12 Hz oscillations in local field potentials (LFPs) recorded in the internal globus pallidus (GPi) of dystonia…Therapeutic potential of compounds preferring specific GABAA receptor subunits for the treatment of dystonia?
Objective: To further define the pathophysiology of the reduction of striatal interneurons in an animal model of dystonia and to develop novel therapeutic strategies targeting…Combined pallidal and thalamic stimulation for multifocal primary dystonia with prominent writers’ cramp
Objective: When a patient presents with both writer's cramp and other dystonic symptoms, it is unclear which target should be chosen. Multifocal DBS is a…Development of hyperkinesias after long term pallidal stimulation for dystonia
Objective: Recent reports on the occurrence of bradykinetic symptoms like freezing, postural instability and micrographia after chronic DBS of the GPi in patients with dystonia…Psychiatric disorders and personality traits in patients with functional dystonia
Objective: To determine the range of psychiatric disorders and personality traits in patients with functional dystonia (FD). Background: FD is a part of the spectrum…Clinical profile of patients with writer’s cramp
Objective: To present the clinical profile of 16 patients with simple writer's cramp who were treated with botulinum toxin injections. Background: Writer's cramp is the…
