Start React Paradigm In Patients With Cervical Dystonia
Objective: Compare StartReact paradigm in cervical dystonia (CD) patients compared to matched healthy participants. Background: The voluntary response to vestibular stimulation is enhanced in CD…Pisa syndrome in Parkinson’s disease: Evidence for bilateral vestibulospinal dysfunction
Objective: To evaluate vestibular involvement in patients with Parkinson's disease and postural abnormalities. Background: Pisa syndrome (PS) is a peculiar postural complication typically occurring at…Blink Recovery Pattern and Somatosensory Evoked Blink Reflex in patients with Parkinsonism syndromes
Objective: To assess somatosensory evoked blink reflex (SSEBR) and Blink Reflex recovery curve (BRrc) in patients with Parkinsonism Syndromes and compare it with normal control…An auditory biomarker for Parkinson’s Disease ?
Objective: In this preliminary study we aimed to investigate the nature of the differences in auditory function between patients with PD (N=25 with Hoehn and…Do median-nerve evoked blink reflexes allow early differentiation between PD and PSP in patients with debuting parkinsonism?
Objective: Do median-nerve elicited blink reflex responses enable early differentiation between PD and PSP in patients with idiopathic parkinsonism? Background: Differentiation between PD and PSP in…Brainstem reflexes in patients with neuroleptic-induced akathisia
Objective: We aimed to investigate brainstem reflexes in patients with akathisia. Background: Akathisia is characterized by urge, inner restlessness and constant movement of predominantly lower…Brainstem connection of Writer’s cramp: Electrophysiological correlates
Objective: In this study, we explored the involvement of brainstem in Writer’s cramp (WC) patients through pre-pulse inhibition of blink reflex and Start-React paradigm. Background:…Assessment of brainstem function with blink reflex variations in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the brainstem function with different variations of blink reflex studies in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Although PD presents principally as a movement…Electric stimulation of the nucleus subthalamicus is able to modulate prepulse inhibition. A pilot study in Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To evaluate if prepulse inhibition (PPI) is influenced by electrical stimulation in the Nucleus subthalamicus (STN) of patients with Parkinson´s disease (PD). Background: PPI…Neurophysiological investigation of brainstem in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) through vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs)
Objective: To investigate the degree of brainstem impairment in a cohort of patients with iRBD through recording of a VEMPs battery able to indirectly assess…
