REEP4 variant analysis in blepharospasm and other neurological disorders
Introduction: In preceding work, a deleterious REEP4 variant [GRCh38/hg38, NC_000008.11:g.22140245G>A, NM_025232.4:c.109C>T, p.Arg37Trp] was found to co-segregate with blepharospasm (BSP) in a large African-American pedigree.

Distinction and mutual Influences between Parkinson's Disease‐related and unrelated Chronic Pain
Abstract Background Chronic pain (i.e. > 3 months) is a common nonmotor symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), but the attribution to PD is critical for further treatment. Objectives We explored the PD Pain Classification System (PD‐PCS) criteria for the diagnosis of PD‐related pain and mutual influences between PD‐related and PD‐unrelated ...

A role for cerebellum in the hereditary dystonia DYT1
DYT1 is a debilitating movement disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in torsinA. How these mutations cause dystonia remains unknown. Mouse models which have embryonically targeted torsinA have failed to recapitulate the dystonia seen in patients,

Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with both motor and non‐motor symptoms, which collectively impact activities of daily living (ADLs) and contribute to the loss of functional independence. There is a lack of understanding of how non‐motor symptoms drive this loss in independence.

Unraveling dystonia circuitry in rodent models using novel neuromodulation techniques
Dystonia is a network disorder presumed to result from abnormalities in multiple brain regions and in multiple cell populations. The specific pathomechanisms affecting the motor circuits in dystonia are, however, still largely unclear.

Psychiatric associations of adult-onset focal dystonia phenotypes
Background Depression and anxiety frequently accompany the motor manifestations of isolated adult-onset focal dystonias. Whether the body region affected when this type of dystonia first presents is associated with the severity of these neuropsychiatric ...

Botulinum Toxin Efficacy in Upper Limb Tremor: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Abstract Background Essential tremor (ET) and dystonic tremor syndrome (DTS) can be treated using botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections. Previous reviews lacked an assessment of the certainty of evidence and focused solely on clinician‐reported outcomes. Additionally, studies have demonstrated interindividual variability in BoNT efficacy. Objective The aim
