Isolated focal dystonia phenotypes are associated with distinct patterns of altered microstructure

open access: yesNeuroImage: Clinical, 2018
Objective: Isolated adult-onset focal dystonia is considered a network disorder with disturbances to the motor basal ganglia and cerebellar circuits playing a pathophysiological role, but why specific body regions become affected remains unknown.

Explicit Agency in Patients with Cervical Dystonia: Altered Recognition of Temporal Discrepancies between Motor Actions and Their Feedback. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:Abnormalities in the cognitive processing of movement have been demonstrated in patients with dystonia. The sense of agency, which is the experience of initiating and controlling one's own actions, has never before been studied in these ...

Early Globus Pallidus Internus Stimulation in Pediatric Patients With Generalized Primary Dystonia: Long-Term Efficacy and Safety [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Primary generalized dystonia presents mainly at a young age and commonly is severely disabling. The authors report the long-term follow-up (mean, 73 months; range, 50-101 months) of 5 pediatric patients (mean age at surgery 13 years; range, 8-16 years ...

Impact of Depression on Cognitive Function and Disease Severity in Idiopathic Cervical Dystonia Patients: One-Center Data in Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesMedicina, 2022
Background: Cervical dystonia is a highly disabling hyperkinetic movement disorder with a lot of nonmotor symptoms. One symptom with a high prevalence is depression, which may negatively affect dystonia patients.

Multimodal Quantitative MRI Reveals No Evidence for Tissue Pathology in Idiopathic Cervical Dystonia

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: While in symptomatic forms of dystonia cerebral pathology is by definition present, it is unclear so far whether disease is associated with microstructural cerebral changes in idiopathic dystonia.

Evaluation of outcome of different neurosurgical modalities in management of cervical dystonia

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2022
Background Cervical dystonia is the most common form of focal dystonia and is managed by multiple modalities including repeated botulinum toxin injections, in addition to medical treatment with anticholinergics, muscle relaxants, and physiotherapy ...

Network localization of cervical dystonia based on causal brain lesions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cervical dystonia is a neurological disorder characterized by sustained, involuntary movements of the head and neck. Most cases of cervical dystonia are idiopathic, with no obvious cause, yet some cases are acquired, secondary to focal brain lesions ...

Tremor in cervical dystonia

open access: yesDystonia
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 ...
