## Abstract We conducted a 6βweek openβlabel pilot study with blinded video rating of riluzole (50 mg twice a day) in six patients with cervical dystonia (CD) refractory to botulinum toxin A and oral pharmacological treatment. The Tsui rating scale served as primary efficacy measure and improved si
## Abstract Sensory gestes (SG) are a pathognomonic sign of dystonia, which can be detected in up to two thirds of patients with cervical dystonia (CD). They reduce dystonia severity markedly but transiently. We report a patient whose CD substantially worsened with sensory input to the back of the
## Abstract The excitability of brainstem neurons is abnormally enhanced in patients with cervical dystonia (CD), but the extend of such abnormality is not known. We examined whether patients with CD showed abnormalities in the auditory startle response (ASR), a brainstem reflex elicited by an unex
