Written by leading international experts in all relevant clinical and basic science disciplines, "Dystonia 4" is a state-of-the-art review of recent progress in the understanding and treatment of the dystonias. It provides a comprehensive update on the many breakthroughs that have occurred in the five years since the highly acclaimed "Dystonia 3" was published. The therapeutics section features detailed discussions on botulinum toxin treatment and current surgical procedures. The book also includes a major section on recent advances in understanding the genetics of the dystonias. Other sections focus on pathophysiology, Oppenheim's dystonia, PET and biochemical studies, and musician's and other focal dystonias.

Written by an international group of noted basic scientists and clinicians, this volume presents state-of-the-art information on the mechanisms of action, pharmacology, neurophysiological effects, and therapeutic uses of botulinum neurotoxins. A major portion of the book reviews recent clinical experience and clinical trials with botulinum toxin therapy for strabismus, dystonia, juvenile cerebral palsy, spasticity, hyperhidrosis, gastrointestinal and genitourinary disorders, headache, cosmetic facial conditions, and various disorders involving excessive muscle contraction or pain. Other chapters examine the immunology of botulinum toxins, the use of other chemodenervating agents, and the development of novel neurotoxin constructs.

This new volume in the "Advances in Neurology" series provides authoritative coverage of myoclonus and paroxysmal dyskinesias from leaders in the field from all around the globe. The topics covered include neurophysiology of myoclonus, genetics of myoclonus, paroxysmal disorders and their relationship to epilepsy, the genetics of paroxysmal disorders, and more. The coverage also includes recent pharmacologic treatments as well as information on drugs currently being researched.

The boundaries between epilepsy and movement disorders are difficult to define; some syndromes or diseases may combine the two and many manifestations of one are similar to the other. For the first time, a distinguished, international team of specialists comprehensively examines the clinical, neurophysiological, genetic, pharmacological and molecular factors which underlie the relationships and differences between the two disorders. They examine the methods for investigating motor cortex excitability and the electrophysiological and chemical characteristics of epilepsies which resemble movement disorders. They present a scheme for neurophysiological classification of myoclonic epilepsies and myoclonus and give a detailed analysis of the disorders which cause diagnostic problems in children and adults. There is also an innovative, up-to-date review of the genetic syndromes which associate epilepsy and paroxysmal dyskinesias, and a review of the drugs used to treat, or which may precipitate, epilepsy and movement disorders. This is essential reading for clinicians and neuroscientists.
