Transcranial magnetic stimulation: the road to clinical therapy for dystonia

open access: yesDystonia, 2023
Despite many research studies, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is not yet an FDA-approved clinical therapy for dystonia patients. This review describes the four major challenges that have historically hindered the clinical translation of TMS. The

Quantitative Iron Measurements in the Basal Ganglia of NBIA Patients Using QSM: Insights From a Tertiary Center

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) comprises rare genetic disorders characterized by predominantly extrapyramidal symptoms and iron deposition in the basal ganglia. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detects qualitative changes but cannot accurately quantify iron accumulation. Quantitative susceptibility

X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism

open access: yesDefinitions, 2020
Later in life, many affected individuals also develop a pattern of involuntary, sustained muscle contractions known as dystonia. The dystonia associated with X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism typically starts in one area, most often the eyes, jaw, or neck ...

Practice Recommendations for Genetic Testing of Ataxias

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Over the past decade, significant advances in genetic testing for ataxia have improved diagnostic accuracy, informed clinical trial eligibility, guided treatment decisions, and enabled cascade testing of at‐risk relatives. While guidance exists for other neurogenetic conditions, there are no standardized guidelines on genetic ...

Function and dysfunction of the dystonia network: an exploration of neural circuits that underlie the acquired and isolated dystonias

open access: yesDystonia, 2023
Dystonia is a highly prevalent movement disorder that can manifest at any time across the lifespan. An increasing number of investigations have tied this disorder to dysfunction of a broad “dystonia network” encompassing the cerebellum, thalamus, basal ...

Chronic Pain in Parkinson’s Disease: Prevalence, Sex Differences, Regional Anatomy and Comorbidities

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Chronic pain affected 66.2% of 10,631 individuals with Parkinson's disease, with higher prevalence and severity in females. Pain most often involved the buttocks, lower back, neck, and knees, and was linked to depression, sleep disorders, and osteoarthritis.
