Long-term comparative outcomes of functional neurosurgical procedures for treatment of secondary hemidystonia
Objective: To report and compare the outcomes of functional neurosurgical procedures for treatment of secondary hemidystonia performed at Hospital das Clinicas in São Paulo (HC-FMUSP).…Unilateral pallidotomy for cervical dystonia
Objective: We investigated the validity of unilateral pallidotomy for cervical dystonia using severity scale of Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS, range: 0-35). Background:…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…Long-term results of pallidal deep brain stimulation in a cohort of eight children with isolated dystonia assessed by blinded video rating
Objective: We present long-term results up to 13 years in a consecutive series of 8 pediatric patients assessed with blinded video rating. Background: : The…Dosing of abobotulinumtoxinA and muscle selection in patients with simple patterns of cervical dystonia
Objective: To report international dosing practice for abobotulinumtoxinA (ABO) in a real-world pragmatic setting for the management of cervical dystonia (CD) with simple patterns. Background:…Multi-parameter imaging in hemidystonia responsive to GPi deep brain stimulation
Objective: To present i) imaging data in a case of hemidystonia using structural (diffusion tensor imaging-DTI and fiber tractography-FT) and functional (functional MRI-fMRI and magnetoencephalography-MEG)…Results of the German registry of pediatric deep brain stimulation in patients with childhood-onset dyskinetic movement disorders (GEPESTIM)
Objective: We seek to systematically evaluate the clinical outcome of pediatric patients undergoing DBS at different stages of development. Background: Data on pediatric deep brain…Highlighting the spectrum of practice in the routine management of cervical dystonia with botulinum neurotoxin-A: Baseline injection practice data from MetaCD
Objective: To describe the spectrum of routine injection practice for botulinum neurotoxin-A (BoNT-A) in the management of cervical dystonia (CD). Background: The success of each…Therapeutic potential of compounds preferring specific GABAA receptor subunits for the treatment of dystonia?
Objective: To further define the pathophysiology of the reduction of striatal interneurons in an animal model of dystonia and to develop novel therapeutic strategies targeting…Role of the nurse coordinator within a unit for treatment of neuro-surgical behaviours and abnormal movements
Objective: Presenting the profile of the position of specialized nurse coordinator in a unit caring for implanted therapeutic systems (stimulators and pumps) in functional neurosurgery.…
