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 ...

Somatotopy of cervical dystonia in motor-cerebellar networks: Evidence from resting state fMRI. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
INTRODUCTION Cervical dystonia is the most frequent form of isolated focal dystonia. It is often associated with a dysfunction in brain networks, mostly affecting the basal ganglia, the cerebellum, and the somatosensory cortex.

Chronic migraine and cervical dystonia

open access: yes, 2021
Neck pain with cervical muscle tension is common in patients with chronic migraine (CM). These symptoms seem to share common features with cervical dystonia (CD), which is characterised by abnormal neck muscle contractions in the neck affecting head ...

A Multi-center Genome-wide Association Study of Cervical Dystonia

open access: yes, 2021
BACKGROUND: Several monogenic causes for isolated dystonia have been identified, but they collectively account for only a small proportion of cases. Two genome-wide association studies have reported a few potential dystonia risk loci; but conclusions ...

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 ...

Cervical dystonia : abnormal cerebral activation patterns related to preparation and execution of hand movement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cervical dystonia (CD) is a movement disorder characterized by sustained involuntary muscular contractions which cause repetitive twisting movements and abnormal postures of the head. CD is primarily a brain disorder.

Smell and taste in cervical dystonia

open access: yes, 2020
The pathophysiology of cervical dystonia is not completely understood. Current concepts of the pathophysiology propose that it is a network disorder involving the basal ganglia, cerebellum and sensorimotor cortex. These structures are primarily concerned
