Mind the gap: Temporal discrimination and cervical dystonia
Objective: To deconstruct the temporal discrimination threshold (TDT) into its constituent parts. Background: The TDT, the shortest detectable interval between two stimuli, has repeatedly been…Features of the quality of life and related disorders in patients with focal dystonia
Objective: To evaluate the features of the quality of life (QOL) and related disorders in patients with focal dystonia (FD). Background: Studying neuropsychological disorders is…Long-term effects of pallidal DBS in patients with primary dystonia
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is an effective treatment for medically refractory dystonia and reduces not only motor impairment…White matter connectome in patients with genetic dystonia
Objective: This study investigated structural neural pathways in clinically manifesting and non-manifesting individuals with several dystonia (DYT) genotypes using a network approach. Background: DYT has…Structural and functional brain network alterations in psychogenic dystonia
Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the brain structural and functional MRI abnormalities in psychogenic dystonia patients (pDYT). Background: Psychogenic movement disorders…Cervical dystonia preceding Parkinson´s disease – Continuum – coincidence or epiphenomenon–Report of 3 cases
Objective: To report 3 cases with cervical dystonia and dystonic hand tremor who developed Parkinson´s disease (PD) years to decades later and to discuss if…Non-motor symptoms evaluation in idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of non-motor symptoms associated to idiopathic cervical dystonia (CD) in a sample of patients followed in a Brazilian Movement Disorders…Clinical outcomes of pallidal and subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in isolated cranial and cranio-cervical dystonia
Objective: To evaluate clinical outcomes of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of globus pallidus internus (GPi) or subthalamic nucleus (STN) for isolated cranial or cranio-cervical dystonia.…Functional characterization of the upstream start codon in the GCH1 gene
Objective: To examine (1) the -22C > T point mutation which introduces a premature start codon upstream of the normal open reading frame (ORF) of…Parietal hand pseudodystonia: Significant functional gains with ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin treatments
Objective: Case report. Background: Symptomatic focal dystonia is most commonly secondary to lesions involving the basal ganglia. Previous reports have documented the occurrence of focal…
