Differential clinical outcomes in unifocal vs. multifocal premotor rTMS for Parkinson’s disease: A randomized trial
Objective: To compare changes in clinical outcomes after weekly low-frequency (LF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) sessions over one vs. two pre-motor cortex (preMC) areas…Statistical aspects when exploring the association between change in body mass index (BMI), UPDRS scores and survival in the NET PD long-term study-1
Objective: To report the statistical analyses exploring the association between BMI and change in Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores and survival in the…Age associated effects of levodopa administration on striatal acetylcholinesterase activity
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare short- and long-term effects of levodopa on acetylcholinesterase activity in young and old rat brain striatum.…Alterations in muscle synergies in early stage Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Identify whether muscle synergies are altered in stage I Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Muscle synergies have been proposed as a mechanism utilized by the…Investigation of the influence of the parieto-premotor network on the motor cortex in writer’s cramp using transcranial magnetic stimulation
Objective: We aimed to study the influence of the parieto-premotor network on the motor cortex in patients with writer's cramp. Background: The parietal and premotor…Selective M4 antagonism potentiates L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in MPTP-treated common marmosets
Objective: To determine the role of M4 muscarinic receptors in the expression of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) and dystonia in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated common marmosets. Background:…Changes in handwriting following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over pre-motor cortex in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To observe changes in handwriting following administration of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over pre-motor cortex (pre-MC) in patients with PD. Background: Patients with…Quantification of postural stability in Parkinson’s disease patients utilizing mobile technology
Objective: To validate the use of a mobile device and an associated biomechanical outcome to objectively quantify postural stability in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Comparison of mental practice and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in sisters with cerebellar atrophy
Objective: To compare the effect of training between Mental Practice (MP) and Physical Practice (PP) on the strength of the flexor muscle of fingers in…The relationship between cognitive aspects (education status, executive function and verbal fluency) and motor aspects (balance and gait) in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study was to verify if there would be correlations between cognitive variables (educational status, executive function, verbal fluency) and motor…
