Abstract Background The longitudinal changes of subjective well‐being (SWB) in Parkinson's disease (PD) and focal/segmental craniocervical dystonia (FSCD) are poorly understood. Methods Fifty‐three people with PD and 41 with FSCD completed questionnaires assessing various aspects of SWB (subjective happiness, hope, meaning in life, life satisfaction ...

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

PurposeThe study aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured by the five-level EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) in patients with cervical dystonia, and to explore the determinants of HRQoL in patients with cervical dystonia ...

Acute and Chronic Local Field Potential Recordings in Dystonia—A Systematic Review
Abstract Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder increasingly conceptualized as a disorder of distributed network dysfunction involving the basal ganglia, cortex and cerebellum. Local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes provide a unique opportunity to characterize the electrophysiological signatures ...

Exteroceptive Reflexes in Stiff Person Syndrome, Other Neurological Conditions and Healthy Controls
Abstract Background Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare disabling neurological condition with overlapping symptomatology with more common neurological conditions. Exaggerated exteroceptive reflex mechanisms are thought to play a role in its pathophysiology.

Selective denervation for cervical dystonia
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 ...

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.

Smell and taste in cervical dystonia
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

Pointing in cervical dystonia patients
IntroductionThe normal hemispheric balance can be altered by the asymmetric sensorimotor signal elicited by Cervical Dystonia (CD), leading to motor and cognitive deficits.MethodsDirectional errors, peak velocities, movement and reaction times of pointing towards out-of-reach targets in the horizontal plane were analysed in 18 CD patients and in 11 ...
