Predictors of quality of life in dystonia – a longitudinal study
Objective: To determine the impact of physical and psychiatric morbidity on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in a large, international, multi-centre cohort of isolated dystonia…Altered sensory processing in somatosensory and auditory domains in laryngeal dystonia
Objective: To delineate correlates of altered sensory processing in laryngeal dystonia (LD) in both presence and absence of somatosensory input and their modulation by botulinum…Task Specific Dystonia and Its Response to Botulinum Neurotoxin Treatment
Objective: To study the clinical features in task specific dystonia and its response to botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) treatment. Background: Task specific dystonia is rare form…Cerebellar brain inhibition and cervical dystonia: exploring clinico-electrophysiological associations
Objective: To examine the association between clinical features of cervical dystonia (CD) and cerebellar inhibition of the motor cortex (M1). Background: The involvement of cerebellar…A hexanucleotide repeat within a SINE-VNTR-Alu retrotransposon inserted in TAF1 modifies expressivity of X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism
Objective: To investigate the role of a hexanucleotide repeat within a SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) retrotransposon insertion in the TAF1 gene in modifying expressivity of X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism…OnabotulinumtoxinA Reduces Disability in Treatment-Naive Adult Patients with Spasticity: Results from the ASPIRE Study
Objective: Examine real-world onabotulinumtoxinA utilization and effectiveness over 2 years in patients naive or non-naive to botulinum toxins for spasticity from the Adult Spasticity International…Firing pattern of single neurons in the subthalamic nucleus of Tourette Syndrome patients identifies optimal deep brain stimulation target site
Objective: This study aims at finding a correlation between the activity of single neurons of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Tourette Syndrome (TS) patients and…Hemifacial Involvement in a Patient with Oculopalatal Tremor Due to Inferior Olivary Hypertrophy
Objective: To describe a case of oculopalatal tremor with hemifacial involvement due to hypertrophic inferior olivary degeneration after pontine hemorrhage. Background: Symptomatic palatal tremor develops…Neurophysiologic characterization of Re-emergent tremor (RET) in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate: 1) the contribution of primary motor cortex (M1) to the generation of re-emergent tremor (RET) and rest tremor by measuring the Cortico-muscular…Efficacy of Stereotactic lesioning in Multi-etiological tremor
Objective: Analyse our experience with Stereotactic lesioning for multi-etiological tremor. Background: Lesioning in tremor had been one of the most widely used procedures before the…
