Altered inter-hemispheric functional coordination in primary blepharospasm
Objective: The present study aimed to examine the inter-hemispheric functional connectivity of the whole brain in patients with BSP during resting state. Background: Abnormalities in…Video assessment of writer’s cramp
Objective: To propose standardized filming and patient procedures to optimize recordings for assessment of writer's cramp. Background: The evaluation of writer's cramp and effectiveness of…Motor-related brain changes associated with acute administration of trihexyphenidyl in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: The goal of the current study was to assess task-related brain activity in patients with cervical dystonia (CD) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)…Gaze evoked blepharospasm
Objective: Herein we present a patient with asymmetric blepharospasm (BLS) evoked by upward gaze. Background: Essential BLS is a focal presentation of dystonia. However, brain…Clinical characteristics and natural history of oromandibular dystonia
Objective: The overall goal of this study is to better define the clinical characteristics and natural history of oromandibular dystonia (OMD). Background: OMD is a…Parkinsonian symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia treated with bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation: A controlled study
Objective: To 1) evaluate the presence of Parkinsonian symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia treated with bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus…Epidemiological investigation of yips among Golfers in Japan
Objective: To investigate epidemiological aspects of yips among golfers in Japan. Background: Yips are known as a set of conditions associated with an intermittent motor…Quantitative measurements of deficit type and severity in focal embouchure dystonia
Objective: To identify acoustic variables that characterize focal embouchure dystonia (FED) and use these measures to quantify FED severity. Background: FED is a focal task-specific…Electromyographic and kinematic patterns in runner’s dystonia
Objective: To review electromyographic and kinematic patterns in patients with runner's dystonia (RD). Background: RD is a task-specific focal limb dystonia, preferentially involving the lower…Clinical effects of pallidal stimulation in dystonia are quantitatively related to intracortical inhibition
Objective: To distinguish between patients with dystonia according to the clinical outcome of pallidal stimulation (GPi DBS) using intracortical inhibition of the motor cortex assessed…
