Clinical Trial Observational Study
Sensorimotor Perceptive Rehabilitation Integrated (SPRInt) program: exercises with augmented movement feedback associated to botulinum neurotoxin in idiopathic cervical dystonia-an observational study.
Idiopathic cervical dystonia (ICD) is a focal dystonia affecting neck muscles. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is the first-line treatment of ICD and different physical therapies (including exercise) are often proposed as adjunct treatments. However, the actual effectiveness of exercise in ICD is unclear. The aim of the current work is to assess the potential effectiveness of the Sensorimotor Perceptive Rehabilitation Integrated (SPRInt) exercise program as adjunct therapy for ICD. ⋯ SPRInt plus BoNT can be more effective than BoNT alone in improving cervical dystonia patients' difficulties in the activities of daily living.

The aim was to investigate whether fatigue could predict the development of motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) in a southern Chinese population. ⋯ The symptom of subjective fatigue could predict the progression of PD.
