Cerebello-thalamic activity drives an abnormal motor network into dystonic tremor [PDF]
Dystonic tremor syndromes are highly burdensome and treatment is often inadequate. This is partly due to poor understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. Several lines of research suggest involvement of the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit and the

Laryngoscopy evaluation protocol for the differentiation of essential and dystonic voice tremor
INTRODUCTION: Although syndromes that cause voice tremor have singular characteristics, the differential diagnosis of these diseases is a challenge because of the overlap of the existing signs and symptoms. OBJECTIVE: To develop a task-specific protocol

Diagnoses behind patients with hard-to-classify tremor and normal DaT-SPECT: A clinical follow up study [PDF]
The [123I]ioflupane - a dopamine transporter radioligand - SPECT (DaT-SPECT) has proven to be useful in the differential diagnosis of tremor. Here, we investigate the diagnoses behind patients with hard-to-classify tremor and normal DaT-SPECT. Therefore,

Dystonic tremor: Definition, clinical spectrum, pathophysiology, and treatment
Tremor is now considered an important phenotypic feature of dystonia. Tremor in dystonia is of two types: dystonic tremor, where tremor occurs at the same site that involves dystonia, and tremor associated with dystonia, where tremor occurs at a site ...
