  • MDS Virtual Congress 2020

    Idiopathic cervical dystonia – does autoimmunity play a hand?

    A. Panwar, N. Sawal, D. Garg, R. Kaur (Chandigarh, India)

    Objective: To evaluate efficacy of immunosuppression using glucocorticoids in 2 patients of recently diagnosed cervical dystonia(CD). Background: Most cases of CD are idiopathic. Most effective…

    Probing the Parieto-Premotor Network in Writer’s Cramp Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

    J. Park, P. Mathew, J. Sackett, T. Wu, M. Villegas, M. Hallett (Goyang, Republic of Korea)

    Objective: We aimed to probe the parieto-premotor network using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and further investigate its influence on the motor cortex in patients with…

    Unlocking dystonia from Parkinson’s disease (PD) with directional deep brain stimulation (DBS)

    R. Vaden, A. Nakhmani, C. Hurt, C. Gonzalez, B. Guthrie, H. Walker (Birmingham, AL, USA)

    Objective: To investigate dystonia associated with PD in patients undergoing unilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS implantation. Background: Dystonia is a twisting, involuntary movement that often…

    Cortical excitability in focal dystonia patients using threshold tracking technique

    FCF. Chang, S. Kim, P. Menon, N. Geevasinga, N. Mahant, S. Babu, S. Vucic, V. Fung (Westmead, Australia)

    Objective: To investigate cortical excitability during movement compared with postural control task in healthy and focal dystonia subjects. Background: Focal dystonia is a movement disorder…

    Selective Disinhibition of Thalamus by Globus Pallidus Internus: Failure of a Normal Control Mechanism in Childhood Dystonia

    T. Sanger, E. Arguelles, M. Liker (Los Angeles, CA, USA)

    Objective: The relationship between injury to basal ganglia and the phenomenology of overflow and dyskinesia in childhood dystonia is not understood.  We seek to test…

    Tactile and proprioceptive dysfunction differentiates between cervical dystonia with and without tremor

    L. Avanzino, A. Cherif, O. Crisafulli, F. Carbone, A. Ravaschio, P. Morasso, J. Zenzeri, R. Marchese, G. Abbruzzese, E. Pelosin, J. Konczak (Genova, Italy)

    Objective: To evaluate whether tactile and proprioceptive dysfunction in cervical dystonia is associated with co-existing tremor. Background: Cervical dystonia (CD) is characterized by involuntary neck…

    Reduced interhemispheric and premotor-motor connectivity during handwriting in patients with writer’s cramp

    N. Thirugnanasambandam, T. Zimmermann, A. Pillai, J. Shields, S. Horovitz, M. Hallett (Bethesda, MD, USA)

    Objective: In the current study, our aim was to determine if there occurred task-specific changes in functional connectivity within the task-specificity network for handwriting in…

    Embouchure dystonia evoked with tactile stimulation recorded by MEG

    B. Bulica, C. Sidiropoulos, A. Mahajan, A. Zillgitt, S. Bowyer (Royal Oak, MI, USA)

    Objective: Embouchure dystonia (ED) is a rare focal, task-specific dystonia affecting brass and woodwind musicians. Its underlying pathophysiology is poorly understood [1]. Background: Transcranial magnetic…

    Cortical Homeostatic Plasticity Alteration in Cervical Dystonia

    S. Caverzasio, N. Amato, G. Bramati, G. Koch, A. Kaelin-Lang, S. Galati (Lugano, Switzerland)

    Objective: To  investigate the link between sleep and cortical plasticity in cervical dystonia (CD). Background: CD is the most frequent type of dystonia. Although still…
