## Abstract Myoclonus‐dystonia (M‐D) is an autosomal dominant movement disorder caused by mutations in the ε‐sarcoglycan gene (__DYT11__). We explore pathophysiological characteristics of M‐D with the hypothesis that they may be different from those of sporadic or genetic dystonia. We compared five

## Abstract A form of fixed dystonia (FD) without evidence of basal ganglia lesions or neurodegeneration has been recently characterized (Schrag et al., Brain 2004;127:2360‐2372), which may overlap the clinical spectrum of either complex regional pain syndrome or psychogenic dystonia. Transcranial

## Abstract A typical pathophysiological abnormality in dystonia is cocontraction of antagonist muscles, with impaired reciprocal inhibitory mechanisms in the spinal cord. Recent experimental data have shown that inhibitory interactions between antagonist muscles have also a parallel control at the

Cortical inhibitory mechanisms were investigated with the technique of paired transcranial magnetic stimulation in 10 patients with dystonia of the right arm: six patients had focal, task-specific dystonia (writer's cramp) and three had segmental and one had generalized dystonia. Paired stimuli were
