Synergistic effects of physical therapy and botulinum toxin in primary cervical dystonia
Objective: To compare standard botulinum toxin (BoNT) versus physical therapy (PT) combined with BoNT in primary cervical dystonia (PCD). Background: PCD is frequently a source…Effects of cerebellar theta-burst stimulation on arm and neck movement kinematics in patients with focal dystonia
Objective: To investigate the influence of the cerebellum on the motor cortex in primary focal dystonia using cerebellar continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) and to evaluate…Dystonia after peripheral nerve injury in DYT1 transgenic rats
Objective: To trigger a dystonic phenotype in a non-dystonic rat DYT1 model by inducing a peripheral nerve injury and to describe a new clinical scoring…Robust sensorimotor deficits in a knock-in mouse model of primary torsion dystonia
Objective: The aim of present study was to (1) generate more powerful tests to detect robust behavioral alterations in the DYT1 knock-in mouse model of…Validation of the XDP-MDSP rating scale for the evaluation of patients with X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP)
Objective: To validate the proposed XDP-MDSP (X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism – The Movement Disorder Society of the Philippines) rating scale in patients clinically diagnosed to have XDP.…Pallidal low frequency activity correlates with dystonic symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between pallidal 4–12 Hz activity and symptom severity as quantified by the Toronto…The writer’s cramp and its connections with sensory deficits
Objective: To determine whether difficulties in motor or perceptive anticipation are present in writer's cramp and are specific to writing or also observed during other…Improvement of levodopa induced foot dystonia with 60 Hz frequency subthalamic- deep brain stimulation
Objective: To present a case of levodopa induced foot dystonia that improved with 60Hz frequency subthalamic- deep brain stimulation. Background: Deep Brain Stimulation is an…Sensorimotor gray matter changes in professional brass players with and without Embouchure dystonia
Objective: To investigate patterns of gray matter alterations in professional brass musicians with embouchure dystonia (ED) in relation to healthy professional brass musicians and to…Finger tapping-related brain activation and impact of cerebellar theta-burst stimulation in cervical dystonia patients
Objective: To assess brain activation during simple movements of the right hand in patients with cervical dystonia (CD) by means of fMRI. To test the…
