Recharge frequency is not driven by therapy power usage in patients implanted with rechargeable deep brain stimulation systems
Objective: To explore the relationship between recharge frequency and therapy power usage in patients with rechargeable deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices. Background: Advancements in DBS…DBS outcomes in a mixed cohort of dystonia: A single center experience
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of globus pallidus interna (GPi) in a mixed cohort of dystonia patients. Background:…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…Efficacy of 4845 botulinum toxin (BoNT) treatment cycles, and clinical strategies after a failed cycle
Objective: To explore 1) relationship between peak benefit and Duration of Adequate Response (DAR) after BoNT, 2) frequency & causes of secondary Treatment Failure (TF),…Bacterial biofilm formation on neurostimulation systems
Objective: The aim of this study is to identify specifically the DNA of bacterial biofilm on neurostimulation systems using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Background: Bacterial…Phenomenology of idiopathic adult-onset truncal dystonia
Objective: Characterize the phenomenology and natural history of adult onset idiopathic truncal dystonia. Background: Focal dystonias are the most common type of adult-onset dystonia, however,…Synergistic effects of physical therapy and botulinum toxin in primary cervical dystonia
Objective: To compare standard botulinum toxin (BoNT) versus physical therapy (PT) combined with BoNT in primary cervical dystonia (PCD). Background: PCD is frequently a source…Significant improvement of adult-onset dystonia with cannabinoids-based oromucosal spray
Objective: We performed an open study of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol (THC:CBD) oromucosal spray (Nabiximols, Sativex®) in 6 patients with suboptimal responsive adult-onset dystonia. Background: Cannabinoids…Effectiveness of bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation in a patient with dystonia associated to neurodegenerative ataxia: Follow-up to 18 months
Objective: CASE REPORT Background: The dystonia like others movement disorder may be included in neurodegenerative ataxia syndrome, in addition to cerebellar dysfunction. The pallidal stimulation…Multicentre retrospective chart review of patients treated with incobotulinumtoxinA to evaluate sustained efficacy and tolerability in converted and de-novo conditions
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether IncobotulinumtoxinA (IBTX) provides sustained efficacy as a treatment modality patients in both de-novo patients and patients converted from…
