Laryngeal Vibration to Treat Abductor‐Type Laryngeal Dystonia: Effectiveness and Cortical Response
In this study, people with abductor‐type laryngeal dystonia wore a collar with small, embedded vibrators. After vibrating the skin above the Adam's apple for 24 min, two‐thirds of participants thought their voice had noticeably improved, and objective measures of voice documented improvements in 45% of participants.

Abstract Background Falls along with gait‐balance disturbances are important symptoms of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). Objectives This study aimed to validate the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) item‐difficulty hierarchy, determine its optimal fall cutoff value, and identify key items for assessing fall risk in iNPH.

Association between Perceived Dysphagia Symptoms and Swallowing Physiology in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Swallowing disorders are prevalent in Parkinson's disease (PD). Swallowing assessment often relies on patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs). Although PROMs and physiologic swallowing measures correlate with disease severity, the relationship between PROMs and physiologic swallowing impairments is unclear.

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 ...

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
