Unilateral pallidotomy for cervical dystonia
Objective: We investigated the validity of unilateral pallidotomy for cervical dystonia using severity scale of Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS, range: 0-35). Background:…Endoscopic-guided injection of botulinum toxin into the longus capitis muscle and into the obliquus superior part of the longus colli muscle in dystonic antecaput
Objective: Cervical dystonia is the most commonly described dystonia. Since examinations of the muscle using imaging techniques were started [1], the classification of the phenomenological…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…Orientation of attention affects onset of head saccades: A novel representation of the Posner cueing effect
Objective: We demonstrate how newly emerging technology can be utilized to record head movements and extract robust performance metrics. Therefore we will attempt to show,…Striatal postsynaptic dysfunction in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism is associated with disease progression
Objective: To assess pre- and postsynaptic dopaminergic function in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP). Background: X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) is a neurodegenerative adult-onset movement disorder associated with striatal…Investigating the plastic effects of rapid paired associative stimulation in dystonia
Objective: To investigate the effects of rapid paired associative stimulation (PAS) in organic and psychogenic dystonia to see if this technique can differentiate them. Background:…Painful legs and moving toes (PLMT) treatment with topic capsaicin: A case report
Objective: To describe a case of painful legs and movement toes successfully treated with topical capsaicin. Background: A 77yo man with depression and dyslipidaemia complained…Cervical dystonia associated to Wallenberg syndrome
Objective: To describe, for the first time, a patient who developed cervical dystonia with signs and symptoms of a Wallenberg syndrome. Background: Secondary cervical dystonia…Long-term comparative outcomes of functional neurosurgical procedures for treatment of secondary hemidystonia
Objective: To report and compare the outcomes of functional neurosurgical procedures for treatment of secondary hemidystonia performed at Hospital das Clinicas in São Paulo (HC-FMUSP).…Beliefs and knowledge on Parkinson’s disease (PD) among people with PD, the public and traditional healers in Western Cape, South Africa
Objective: To determine belief systems and knowledge about PD among patients with PD, among the public and among traditional healers. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is…
