Late cortical disinhibition in focal hand dystonia

European Journal of Neuroscience, 2021
Abstract In writer's cramp (WC), a form of focal hand dystonia, cortical GABAergic inhibitory mechanisms are altered and may cause involuntary tonic contractions while writing. The objective of this study was to explore the time course of long‐interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) that involves gamma‐amino butyric acid (GABA)‐B ...

Psychiatric symptoms associated with focal hand dystonia [PDF]

Movement Disorders, 2010
AbstractMyoclonus dystonia and idiopathic dystonia are associated with a greater frequency of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depression. We investigated the frequency of OCD in 39 patients with primary focal hand dystonia (FHD) using a semistructured interview. OCD and subsyndromal OCD was diagnosed in 5 of 39 (12.82%) patients with FHD,
