The barriers and facilitators to satisfaction with botulinum neurotoxin treatment in people with cervical dystonia: a systematic review.
Objective: This systematic review aimed to determine the barriers to satisfaction and facilitators that could improve satisfaction with BoNT therapy for people with CD. Background:…In vivo synaptic density in parkinsonism
Objective: To provide first evidence of in vivo binding properties of the [18F]SynVesT-1 tracer (aka [18F]-SDM-8) for the quantification of synaptic density loss in a…Exploring Young people’s role in providing relief to grandparents affected with Alzheimer
Objective: In some families, children never know that their parents or grandparents are affected by the Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Whatever be the way that Movement…ADOPTION Study: Status update of a Randomised, Open-Label Exploratory Trial of Opicapone in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of once-daily opicapone (OPC) 50 mg versus an additional dose of levodopa (L-dopa)/dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (DDCi) to…Hemichorea secondary to Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) Stenosis without evidence of ischemic stroke in the basal ganglia
Objective: To describe two patients who presented with hemichorea from isolated MCA stenosis without evidence of basal ganglia stroke. Background: Hyperkinetic movement disorders can occur…Response of freezing, posture and voice to increasing levodopa doses in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To analyze the resistance to high levodopa doses of FoG, posture, speech, and gait features in PD patients during a daily-ON therapeutic condition. Background:…Theta-burst Cycling for Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To test the clinical efficacy of rapid-cycling deep brain stimulation (DBS) in children and young adults with dystonia. Background: Cycling of DBS for variable…Cognitive-motor tests markedly increase the diagnostic rate of “On-meds” freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease during clinical visits
Objective: To develop a testing and recording system that can reliably increase the rate of diagnosing freezing of gait (FOG) in patients living with Parkinson’s…Subcortical Atrophy and Fall Risk in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between various measures of subcortical atrophy with fall risk in PD. Background: Falls occur in nearly 70% of people with…CAREGIVERS BURDEN IN CARING FOR PERSONS WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE: A SURVEY FROM A TEACHING HOSPITAL IN GHANA
Objective: To determine the burden of caregivers in caring for persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and establish the relationship between the burden of care and…
