Abnormal central integration of a dual somatosensory input in dystonia. Evidence for sensory overflow.
Several observations suggest impaired central sensory integration in dystonia. We studied median and ulnar nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in 10 patients who had dystonia involving at least one upper limb (six had generalized, two had segmental and two had focal dystonia) and in 10 normal subjects. We compared the amplitude of spinal N13, brainstem P14, parietal N20 and P27 and fro...
متن کاملAltered central integration of dual somatosensory input after cervical spine manipulation.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the current study was to investigate changes in the intrinsic inhibitory interactions within the somatosensory system subsequent to a session of spinal manipulation of dysfunctional cervical joints. METHOD Dual peripheral nerve stimulation somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) ratio technique was used in 13 subjects with a history of reoccurring neck stiffness and/or neck ...
متن کاملAbnormal premovement gating of somatosensory input in writer's cramp.
One characteristic of focal dystonia is the sensory trick, by which sensory input to a certain area of the body can reduce abnormal contractions in muscles nearby. This suggests that adjusting the link between sensory input and movement allows motor commands to be issued more effectively from the brain. To explore this sensorimotor link, we studied the attenuation (gating) of somatosensory evok...
متن کاملAbnormal activity of primary somatosensory cortex in central pain syndrome.
Central pain syndrome (CPS) is a debilitating and chronic pain condition that results from a lesion or dysfunction in the CNS. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CPS are poorly understood. We recently demonstrated that CPS is associated with suppressed inputs from the inhibitory nucleus zona incerta to the posterior thalamus (PO). As a consequence, activity in PO is abnormally increas...
