Objective: To report the use of the first and easy to use self-completed Parkinson's specific pain questionnaire (King's PD Pain Quest (KPPQ), which is complementary…The high prevalence of pain among patients with X linked dystonia parkinsonism
Objective: To evaluate the frequency of pain and its severity among XDP (X linked dystonia parkinsonism) patients. Background: Sex-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP, DYT3, "Lubag") is…Does GPi-DBS help non motor symptoms in cervical dystonia patients? A retrospective study of 17 patients
Objective: To study the efficacy of GPi DBS surgery in improving dystonia related severity, disability and pain as well as quality of life in medically…Painful legs and moving toes (PLMT) treatment with topic capsaicin: A case report
Objective: To describe a case of painful legs and movement toes successfully treated with topical capsaicin. Background: A 77yo man with depression and dyslipidaemia complained…Inhibition of nociceptive responses by modulating serotonergic signals at the rostral ventromedial medulla in 6-OHDA-induced Parkinson’s disease rat model
Objective: We aimed to determine whether the descending 5-HT facilitatory pathway from rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) and the extracellular 5-HT in RVM are involved in…Exploring hospitalizations and visits to the emergency room of patients with Parkinson’s disease: A ten years’ follow-up
Objective: To describe the number and reasons of the visits to the emergency room (ER) and the hospitalizations of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients for a…
