Unraveling gait and balance impairment in cervical dystonia: associated features, functional implications, and the effect of botulinum toxin.
[BACKGROUND] Cervical dystonia (CD) may affect not only head posture but also gait and balance. The relationship between quantitative gait abnormalities and perceived disability, the contribution of head tremor (HT) and the impact of botuli…

Clinical Algorithm-Guided Approach to Botulinum Toxin Type A Treatment for Axial Postural Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease.
[BACKGROUND] Axial postural abnormalities (APAs) are common, disabling complications of Parkinson's disease (PD) with unclear pathophysiology. The presence of hyperactivity in multiple trunk muscles supports the use of botulinum toxin (BTA)…

Botulinum Toxin for Axial Postural Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review.
Axial postural abnormalities (APAs), characterized by their frequency, disabling nature, and resistance to pharmacological treatments, significantly impact Parkinson's disease and atypical Parkinsonism patients. Despite advancements in diag…

CACNA1A variant associated with generalized dystonia.
[INTRODUCTION] CACNA1A gene variants are correlated with different disorders, including episodic ataxia type 2, spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, and familial hemiplegic migraine type 1. Despite dystonia not being a typical manifestation of CA…

Longitudinal Assessment of Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Lateral Trunk Flexion and Pisa Syndrome in Parkinson's Disease: Real-life, Long-Term Study.
Lateral trunk flexion (LTF) and its severe form, called Pisa syndrome (PS), are highly invalidating axial postural abnormalities associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). Management strategies for LTF lack strong scientific evidence. We pre…

Time to onset and duration of botulinum toxin efficacy in movement disorders.
[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin (BoNT) is a valuable treatment in movement disorders; however, time to onset and duration of efficacy may widely differ among patients. We aimed to clarify the impact of main demographic and clinical features on…
- Changing the Side of Pisa Syndrome: A Case of Over-Recovery with Botulinum Toxin.

Botulinum toxin for Pisa syndrome: An MRI-, ultrasound- and electromyography-guided pilot study.
[INTRODUCTION] Pisa syndrome is a disabling, medication-resistant, postural abnormality that may affect 7-10% of patients with Parkinson's disease. In this study, we sought to assess the efficacy of botulinum toxin injections in Parkinson's…

Ultrasound-guided Botulinum Toxin-A Injections: A Method of Treating Sialorrhea.
Neurological diseases can be complicated by sialorrhea, an excessive flow of saliva. Patients suffering from moderate to severe sialorrhea have an impaired quality of life, often worsened by correlated complications such as aspiration pneum…

Long-term follow-up of ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin-A injections for sialorrhea in neurological dysphagia.
Literature provides reports only of a limited follow-up single injection of botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) in patients with sialorrhea. The aim of our study is to evaluate the long-lasting efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided BoNT-A injecti…
