The effectiveness of deep brain stimulation on dystonia: A meta-analysis
Objective: To summarize, assess and perform a quantitative analysis of the available evidence on the effectiveness and safety of deep brain stimulation on improving dystonia…Distinguishing pseudo-dystonia from dystonia: A case series
Objective: To characterize various presentations of pseudo-dystonia and features that distinguish it from dystonia based on review of 12 video cases and the published literature.…Pallidal deep brain stimulation improves dystonia in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome
Objective: To describe a patient with a rare genetic disorder, Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome, treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) for dystonia. Background: Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome (WSS) is…Triad-conditioning transcranial magnetic stimulation in focal hand dystonia
Objective: To evaluate if the intrinsic oscillations within the primary motor cortex (M1) at rest are entrained at the same frequencies of trains of transcranial…Structural organization of the brain connectome in patients with psychogenic dystonia
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural organization of the brain connectome in patients with psychogenic dystonia (pDYT). Background: pDYT is…Investigating the plastic effects of rapid paired associative stimulation in dystonia
Objective: To investigate the effects of rapid paired associative stimulation (PAS) in organic and psychogenic dystonia to see if this technique can differentiate them. Background:…The anatomical basis of genetic dystonia: A multimodal MRI study
Objective: We aimed at investigating structural and functional alterations in asymptomatic (aDYT) and symptomatic dystonia (sDYT) mutation carriers. Background: Most of DYT genotypes follow an…Symptoms of dystonia in a mouse with mutation in Lamb1
Objective: A mouse model that exhibits symptoms appropriate to dystonia will allow investigation underlying circuit abnormalities. Here we tested two hypotheses with the lamb1t mouse:…Deep brain stimulation in three patients with dystonia and severe cerebellar atrophy
Objective: To describe the outcome of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in patients with dystonia and prominent cerebellar atrophy. Background: There is increasing evidence supporting the…Epidemiological and clinical profile of essential blepharospasm and its response to treatment with TBA over a 11-year period
Objective: To report the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients with essential bleaphrospasm from the outpatient clinic of Movement Disorders of the Hospital de Clínicas…
