From Disability to Diagnosis: Baseline Findings from the Calgary Functional Movement Disorder Registry

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Functional movement disorder (FMD), a subtype of functional neurological disorder, is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by inconsistent and incongruent motor symptoms. Despite its relatively high prevalence, FMD remains associated with delayed diagnosis, significant disability, and limited evidence to guide ...

Noradrenaline release from permeabilized synaptosomes is inhibited by the light chain of tetanus toxin [PDF]

, 1992
Noradrenaline release from rat brain cortical synaptosomes permeabilized with streptolysin O can be triggered by μM concentrations of free Ca2+. This process was inhibited within minutes by tetanus toxin and its isolated light chain, but not by its heavy

Efficacy of IncobotulinumtoxinA (BoNT‐A) Injections in Upper Limb Task‐Specific and Position‐Dependent Tremors

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Task‐specific tremors (TST) and position‐dependent tremors (PDT) are rare isolated focal tremors that impair fine motor control with few effective treatment options. Although botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is effective in other tremor syndromes, its evidence in these tremor subtypes remains limited.

Single Application of A2 NTX, a Botulinum Toxin A2 Subunit, Prevents Chronic Pain Over Long Periods in Both Diabetic and Spinal Cord Injury–Induced Neuropathic Pain Models

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Botulinum toxin type A is a unique candidate for inhibition of pain transmission. In the present study we attempted to see the beneficial actions of A2 neurotoxin (NTX), an active subunit of botulinum toxin type A.

Driving Cerebellar Theta Oscillations Interferes With Voluntary Neck Movements in Cervical Dystonia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cervical dystonia (CD) is a movement disorder with a complex pathophysiology, including cerebellar abnormalities. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a noninvasive neuromodulation technique capable of entraining brain oscillations, can transiently modulate neuronal activity and enhance resonant rhythms.

Kinematic Features of Voluntary and Involuntary Head Movements in Cervical Dystonia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cervical dystonia (CD) has a varied motor presentation, combining abnormal postures with complex involuntary head movements. Classification of these motor patterns remains imprecise, relying on descriptive terminology without robust definitions. Objectives To provide a kinematically‐grounded description of the motor phenomenology of
