Clinical-Instrumental patterns of neurodegeneration in Essential Tremor: A data-driven approach
2021
Abstract Introduction Essential Tremor (ET) is increasingly recognized as a complex disorder with additional clinical signs other than tremor. It is still unknown whether a unique pathophysiologic or neurodegenerative process underlies progression and prognosis of the disease. The aim of the study was to identify ET phenotypes through a clinical-instrumental data-driven approach and to characterize possible patterns of neurodegeneration. Methods ET patients were categorized using spatio-temporal and kinematic variables related to mobility and dynamic stability processed by motion transducers. Differences between the identified groups in clinical-demographic variables, neuropsychological per…
Modulation of action tremor by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in multiple sclerosis patients
2014
Background: Patients affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can show a tremor of their upper limbs, mostly during the performing of finalised action (action tremor) or at the maintaining of a position against gravity (postural tremor), as key clinical feature of their disease. Objectives: In order to reduce the tremor, patients underwent to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the primary motor cortex of left hemisphere. Methods: Eight patients affected by a middle form of MS were enrolled into the study. A standard neurological examination was carried out and the individual degree of disability was established employing the Expanded Disability Status Score (EDSS). At EDSS pa…
