Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a severely disabling disorder with limited available therapies. Current oral medications for OMD are ineffective and may pose further risks of aspiration particularly in combination states of jaw and tongue dystonia. We advocate the use of Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection with proper muscle site selection and dosing as the most effective treatment in OMD clinically...

Individuals with cervical dystonia (CD) often report difficulty with balance and an altered perception of vertical. Previous studies have suggested a decreased proprioceptive response to stretch of neck muscle spindles in these patients, and impaired dynamic balance changes in individuals with tremor.Participants with CD were divided into three groups based on severity of tremor and dystonic position...

l-dopa is still the cornerstone symptomatic medication for Parkinson disease (PD), although it cannot stop the neurodegenerative process progression or even aggravate it. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic growth factor, exhibited neurotrophic, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, immunomodulating and neuroprotective potentialities. The present study assessed the possible modulating potentialities of filgrastim...
