Tremor in cervical dystonia. [PDF]

Dystonia
Background: Cervical dystonia (CD) is the most common form of focal dystonia encountered in the clinic. Approximately one-third of CD patients have co-existing tremor in the head and hands. Assessment of tremor as regular or irregular in context of its oscillation trajectory, frequency, and amplitude is a major clinical challenge and can confound the ...

Neuropathology of cervical dystonia [PDF]

Experimental Neurology, 2013
The aim of this study was to search for neuropathological changes in postmortem brain tissue of individuals with cervical dystonia (CD). Multiple regions of formalin-preserved brains were collected from patients with CD and controls and examined with an extensive battery of histopathological stains in a two-stage study design. In stage one, 4 CD brains

Descriptive Epidemiology of Cervical Dystonia

Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2013
Background Cervical dystonia (CD), the most common form of adult‐onset focal dystonia, has a heterogeneous clinical presentation with variable clinical features, leading to difficulties and delays in diagnosis. Owing to the lack of reviews specifically focusing on the frequency of primary CD in the general population, we performed a systematic ...

Selective denervation for cervical dystonia

Neurosurgical Focus: Video, 2023
Cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis) is a condition that involves sustained, involuntary contraction of neck and shoulder muscles, leading to abnormal movements and head posture. The authors present the case of a 41-year-old man with severe right rotational torticollis for 1.5 years due to predominant right cervical paraspinal and left ...

The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in Adults with Cervical Dystonia: Clinical Insights from a Real‐World Early Experience Program

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background DaxibotulinumtoxinA for injection (DAXI), a novel botulinum toxin (BoNT) formulated with a custom‐engineered peptide, was recently approved for treating cervical dystonia (CD). DAXI demonstrated a long duration of symptom relief in Phase 3 trials. Objective To report findings from PrevU, an early experience, real‐world observational

Convergence Deficits in Myoclonus‐Dystonia Point to Cerebellar Impairment

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Myoclonus‐dystonia (M‐D) is a monogenic movement disorder, with proposed cerebellar dysfunction. Vergence eye movement deficits, characteristics of degenerative cerebellar disease, have not been studied in M‐D. Cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is considered a potential therapeutic approach.

The Pain in Dystonia Scale (PIDS)—Validation in Craniofacial and Upper Limb Dystonia

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pain is one of the most disabling non‐motor symptoms in adult‐onset isolated dystonia (AOID). The Pain in Dystonia Scale (PIDS) was developed and validated in cervical dystonia. Its applicability to other focal subtypes remains unknown.
