- Should the Globus Pallidus Targeting Be Refined in Dystonia?(2022) LAPA, Jorge Dornellys da Silva; GODINHO, Fabio Luiz Franceschi; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; LISTIK, Clarice; IGLESIO, Ricardo Ferrareto; DUARTE, Kleber Paiva; CURY, Rubens GisbertBackground and Study Aims Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is a highly effective therapy for primary generalized and focal dystonias, but therapeutic success is compromised by a nonresponder rate of up to 20%. Variability in electrode placement and in tissue stimulated inside the GPi may explain in part different outcomes among patients. Refinement of the target within the pallidal area could be helpful for surgery planning and clinical outcomes. The objective of this study was to discuss current and potential methodological (somatotopy, neuroimaging, and neurophysiology) aspects that might assist neurosurgical targeting of the GPi, aiming to treat generalized or focal dystonia. Methods We selected published studies by searching electronic databases and scanning the reference lists for articles that examined the anatomical and electrophysiologic aspects of the GPi in patients with idiopathic/inherited dystonia who underwent functional neurosurgical procedures. Results The sensorimotor sector of the GPi was the best target to treat dystonic symptoms, and was localized at its lateral posteroventral portion. The effective volume of tissue activated (VTA) to treat dystonia had a mean volume of 153mm (3) in the posterior GPi area. Initial tractography studies evaluated the close relation between the electrode localization and pallidothalamic tract to control dystonic symptoms. Regarding the somatotopy, the more ventral, lateral, and posterior areas of the GPi are associated with orofacial and cervical representation. In contrast, the more dorsal, medial, and anterior areas are associated with the lower limbs; between those areas, there is the representation of the upper limb. Excessive pallidal synchronization has a peak at the theta band of 3 to 8Hz, which might be responsible for generating dystonic symptoms. Conclusions Somatotopy assessment of posteroventral GPi contributes to target-specific GPi sectors related to segmental body symptoms. Tractography delineates GPi output pathways that might guide electrode implants, and electrophysiology might assist in pointing out areas of excessive theta synchronization. Finally, the identification of oscillatory electrophysiologic features that correlate with symptoms might enable closed-loop approaches in the future.
- The Parkinson disease pain classification system: results from an international mechanism-based classification approach(2021) MYLIUS, Veit; LLORET, Santiago Perez; CURY, Rubens G.; TEIXEIRA, Manoel J.; BARBOSA, Victor R.; BARBOSA, Egberto R.; I, Larissa Moreira; LISTIK, Clarice; FERNANDES, Ana M.; VEIGA, Diogo de Lacerda; BARBOUR, Julio; HOLLENSTEIN, Nathalie; OECHSNER, Matthias; WALCH, Julia; BRUGGER, Florian; HAGELE-LINK, Stefan; BEER, Serafin; RIZOS, Alexandra; CHAUDHURI, Kallol Ray; BOUHASSIRA, Didier; LEFAUCHEUR, Jean-Pascal; TIMMERMANN, Lars; GONZENBACH, Roman; KAGI, Georg; MOELLER, Jens Carsten; ANDRADE, Daniel Ciampi dePain is a common nonmotor symptom in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) but the correct diagnosis of the respective cause remains difficult because suitable tools are lacking, so far. We developed a framework to differentiate PD- from non-PD-related pain and classify PD-related pain into 3 groups based on validated mechanistic pain descriptors (nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic), which encompass all the previously described PD pain types. Severity of PD-related pain syndromes was scored by ratings of intensity, frequency, and interference with daily living activities. The PD-Pain Classification System (PD-PCS) was compared with classic pain measures (ie, brief pain inventory and McGill pain questionnaire [MPQ], PDQ-8 quality of life score, MDS-UPDRS scores, and nonmotor symptoms). 159 nondemented PD patients (disease duration 10.2 +/- 7.6 years) and 37 healthy controls were recruited in 4 centers. PD-related pain was present in 122 patients (77%), with 24 (15%) suffering one or more syndromes at the same time. PD-related nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic pain was diagnosed in 87 (55%), 25 (16%), or 35 (22%), respectively. Pain unrelated to PD was present in 35 (22%) patients. Overall, PD-PCS severity score significantly correlated with pain's Brief Pain Inventory and MPQ ratings, presence of dyskinesia and motor fluctuations, PDQ-8 scores, depression, and anxiety measures. Moderate intrarater and interrater reliability was observed. The PD-PCS is a valid and reliable tool for differentiating PD-related pain from PD-unrelated pain. It detects and scores mechanistic pain subtypes in a pragmatic and treatment-oriented approach, unifying previous classifications of PD-pain.
conferenceObject Targeting the Right Spot in a Patient with Essential Tremor and Parkinson's Disease: Does the Tractography Matter?(2018) LISTIK, Clarice; SANTIAGO, Natally; REIS, Paul; GODINHO, Fabio; DUARTE, Kleber Paiva; TEIXEIRA, Manoel; BARBOSA, Egberto; CURY, Rubens Gisbert- Exploring clinical outcomes in patients with idiopathic/inherited isolated generalized dystonia and stimulation of the subthalamic region(2023) LISTIK, Clarice; LAPA, Jorge Dornellys; CASAGRANDE, Sara Carvalho Barbosa; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; IGLESIO, Ricardo; GODINHO, Fabio; DUARTE, Kleber Paiva; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; CURY, Rubens GisbertBackground Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment option for refractory dystonia, but the improvement among the patients is variable. Objective To describe the outcomes of DBS of the subthalamic region (STN) in dystonic patients and to determine whether the volume of tissue activated (VTA) inside the STN or the structural connectivity between the area stimulated and different regions of the brain are associated with dystonia improvement. Methods The response to DBS was measured by the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (BFM) before and 7 months after surgery in patients with generalized isolated dystonia of inherited/idiopathic etiology. The sum of the two overlapping STN volumes from both hemisphereswas correlated with the change in BFM scores to assess whether the area stimulated inside the STN affects the clinical outcome. Structural connectivity estimates between the VTA (of each patient) and different brain regions were computed using a normative connectome taken from healthy subjects. Results Five patients were included. The baseline BFM motor and disability subscores were 78.30 +/- 13.55 (62.00-98.00) and 20.60 +/- 7.80 (13.00-32.00), respectively. Patients improved dystonic symptoms, though differently. No relationships were found between the VTA inside the STN and the BFM improvement after surgery (p = 0.463). However, the connectivity between the VTA and the cerebellum structurally correlated with dystonia improvement (p = 0.003). Conclusions These data suggest that the volume of the stimulated STN does not explain the variance in outcomes in dystonia. Still, the connectivity pattern between the region stimulated and the cerebellum is linked to outcomes of patients.
- Targeting the hot spot in a patient with essential tremor and Parkinson's disease: Tractography matters(2018) LISTIKA, Clarice; SANTIAGO, Natally; REIS, Paul Rodrigo; GODINHO, Fabio; DUARTE, Kleber; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; CURY, Rubens GisbertIntroduction: Thalamic ventralis intermedius deep brain stimulation (VIM-DBS) is generally effective in treating refractory tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) and in essential tremor (ET), but some patients do not respond well due to side effects or from loss of the effect of stimulation over time. The caudal zona incerta (ZI) has emerged as a promising target in ET, and the effects of ZI-DBS on PD tremor are less studied. Here, we describe a rare situation in which both ET and PD coexist in a 72-year-old male referred for ZI-DBS due to refractory tremor. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there was a difference in the area stimulated to improve each type of tremor and whether tractography could improve and predict motor outcome. Methods: Two months after the surgery, in order to define which of the cathodes was the most effective towards improving the tremor and parkinsonian symptoms, a double-blinded, monopolar evaluation was conducted on both hemispheres separately. Once the best contact and parameters were defined, the volume of tissue activation (VTA) was represented spatially for each type of tremor and, finally, the image model was fused with the tractography. Results: For both types of tremor, the hot spot stimulated region achieved the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract (DRTT) at the higher fiber density region. The DRTT fibers were asymmetrical between the right and left hemispheres. Conclusion: Regardless of the type of tremor, DRTT can be the most effective region for stimulation. Tractography should be considered when planning the surgical target since the DRTT is not always symmetrical, and the reconstruction of the VTA together with the tractography can greatly improve the DBS programming, and, probably, the patient's outcome to the stimulation.
- Rescue Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Meige Syndrome(2021) ARAGAO, Veronica Tavares; CASAGRANDE, Sara Carvalho Barbosa; LISTIK, Clarice; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; CURY, Rubens GisbertMeige syndrome is a segmental form of dystonia. It is a disabling disease, especially when refractory to treatment with botulinum toxin. A well-established therapeutic option is deep brain stimulation (DBS), and the target in bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi DBS) demonstrated satisfactory short- and long-term efficacy. However, some patients present minor or suboptimal responses after GPi DBS, and in those cases, rescue DBS may be appropriate. The present case illustrates a good outcome after subthalamic nucleus (STN) and not after GPi DBS (considering that both were well positioned and had adequate programming). The larger dimension of the GPi and its somatotopic organization, with the stimulation outside the ""face region,"" could explain our outcomes.
- Abnormal sensory thresholds of dystonic patients are not affected by deep brain stimulation(2021) LISTIK, Clarice; CURY, Rubens Gisbert; SILVA, Valquiria Aparecida da; CASAGRANDE, Sara Carvalho Barbosa; LISTIK, Eduardo; LINK, Naira; GALHARDONI, Ricardo; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; ANDRADE, Daniel Ciampi deBackground Unlike motor symptoms, the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on non-motor symptoms associated with dystonia remain unknown. Methods The objective of this study was to assess the effects of DBS on evoked experimental pain and cutaneous sensory thresholds in a crossover, double-blind on/off study and compare these results with those of healthy volunteers (HV). Results Sixteen patients with idiopathic dystonia (39.9 +/- 13 years old, n = 14 generalized) with DBS of the globus pallidus internus underwent a battery of quantitative sensory testing and assessment using a pain top-down modulation system (conditioned pain modulation, CPM). Results for the more and less dystonic body regions were compared in on and off stimulation. The patients' results were compared to age- and sex-matched HV. Descending pain modulation CPM responses in dystonic patients (on-DBS, 11.8 +/- 40.7; off-DBS, 1.8 +/- 22.1) was abnormally low (defective) compared to HV (-15.6 +/- 23.5, respectively p = .006 and p = .042). Cold pain threshold and cold hyperalgesia were 54.8% and 95.7% higher in dystonic patients compared to HV. On-DBS CPM correlated with higher Burke-Fahn-Marsden disability score (r = 0.598; p = .014). While sensory and pain thresholds were not affected by DBS on/off condition, pain modulation was abnormal in dystonic patients and tended to be aggravated by DBS. Conclusion The analgesic effects after DBS do not seem to depend on short-duration changes in cutaneous sensory thresholds in dystonic patients and may be related to changes in the central processing of nociceptive inputs.
- Development and Validation of the Dystonia-Pain Classification System: A Multicenter Study(2023) LISTIK, Clarice; LISTIK, Eduardo; ROLIM, Flavia de Paiva Santos; PORTELA, Denise Maria Meneses Cury; LLORET, Santiago Perez; ARAUJO, Natalia Rebeca de Alves; CARVALHO, Pedro Rubens Araujo; SANTOS, Graziele Costa; LIMONGI, Joao Carlos Papaterra; CARDOSO, Francisco; MYLIUS, Veit; BRUGGER, Florian; FERNANDES, Ana Mercia; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; FERRAZ, Henrique Ballalai; CAMARGOS, Sarah Teixeira; CURY, Rubens Gisbert; ANDRADE, Daniel de Ciampi deBackgroundDystonia is associated with disabling nonmotor symptoms like chronic pain (CP), which is prevalent in dystonia and significantly impacts the quality of life (QoL). There is no validated tool for assessing CP in dystonia, which substantially hampers pain management. ObjectiveThe aim was to develop a CP classification and scoring system for dystonia. MethodsA multidisciplinary group was established to develop the Dystonia-Pain Classification System (Dystonia-PCS). The classification of CP as related or unrelated to dystonia was followed by the assessment of pain severity score, encompassing pain intensity, frequency, and impact on daily living. Then, consecutive patients with inherited/idiopathic dystonia of different spatial distribution were recruited in a cross-sectional multicenter validation study. Dystonia-PCS was compared to validated pain, mood, QoL, and dystonia scales (Brief Pain Inventory, Douleur Neuropathique-4 questionnaire, European QoL-5 Dimensions-3 Level Version, and Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale). ResultsCP was present in 81 of 123 recruited patients, being directly related to dystonia in 82.7%, aggravated by dystonia in 8.8%, and nonrelated to dystonia in 7.5%. Dystonia-PCS had excellent intra-rater (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient - ICC: 0.941) and inter-rater (ICC: 0.867) reliability. In addition, pain severity score correlated with European QoL-5 Dimensions-3 Level Version's pain subscore (r = 0.635, P < 0.001) and the Brief Pain Inventory's severity and interference scores (r = 0.553, P < 0.001 and r = 0.609, P < 0.001, respectively). ConclusionsDystonia-PCS is a reliable tool to categorize and quantify CP impact in dystonia and will help improve clinical trial design and management of CP in patients affected by this disorder.

- Deep brain stimulation treatment in dystonia: a bibliometric analysis(2020) LISTIK, Clarice; LISTIK, Eduardo; CURY, Rubens Gisbert; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; ANDRADE, Daniel Ciampi deBackground: Dystonia is a heterogeneous disorder that, when refractory to medical treatment, may have a favorable response to deep brain stimulation (DBS).A practical way to have an overview of a research domain is through a bibliometric analysis, as it makes it more accessible for researchers and others outside the field to have an idea of its directions and needs. Objective: To analyze the 100 most cited articles in the use of DBS for dystonia treatment in the last 30 years. Methods: The research protocol was performed in June 2019 in Elsevier's Scopus database, by retrieving the most cited articles regarding DBS in dystonia. We analyzed authors, year of publication, country, affiliation, and targets of DBS. Results: Articles are mainly published in Movement Disorders (19%), Journal of Neurosurgery (9%), and Neurology (9%). European countries offer significant contributions (57% of our sample). France (192.5 citations/paper) and Germany (144.1 citations/paper) have the highest citation rates of all countries. The United States contributes with 31% of the articles, with 129.8 citations/paper. The publications are focused on General outcomes (46%), followed by Long-term outcomes (12.5%), and Complications (11%), and the leading type of dystonia researched is idiopathic or inherited, isolated, segmental or generalized dystonia, with 27% of articles and 204.3 citations/ paper. Conclusions: DBS in dystonia research is mainly published in a handful of scientific journals and focused on the outcomes of the surgery in idiopathic or inherited, isolated, segmental or generalized dystonia, and with grobus pallidus internus as the main DBS target.
- Improvement of Non-motor Symptoms and Quality of Life After Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Dystonia: A 1-Year Follow-Up(2021) LISTIK, Clarice; CURY, Rubens Gisbert; CASAGRANDE, Sara Carvalho Barbosa; LISTIK, Eduardo; ARNAUT, Debora; SANTIAGO, Natally; SILVA, Valquiria Aparecida Da; GALHARDONI, Ricardo; MACHADO, Julia de Lima Arantes; ALMEIDA, Jessica Campelo de; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; ANDRADE, Daniel Ciampi DeIntroduction: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment option for refractory dystonia's motor symptoms, while its non-motor symptoms (NMS) have been less systematically assessed. We aimed to describe the effects of DBS on NMS in refractory generalized inherited/idiopathic dystonia prospectively. Methods: We evaluated patients before and 1 year after DBS surgery and applied the following scales: Burke-Fahn-Marsden Rating Scale (BFMRS), NMS Scale for Parkinson's Disease (NMSS-PD), Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-8, short-form Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI), and short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). Results: Eleven patients (38.35 +/- 11.30 years) underwent surgery, all with generalized dystonia. Motor BFMRS subscore was 64.36 +/- 22.94 at baseline and 33.55 +/- 17.44 1 year after DBS surgery (47.9% improvement, p = 0.003). NMSS-PD had a significant change 12 months after DBS, from 70.91 +/- 59.07 to 37.18 +/- 55.05 (47.5% improvement, p = 0.013). NMS changes were mainly driven by changes in the gastrointestinal (p = 0.041) and miscellaneous domains (p = 0.012). Seven patients reported chronic pain before DBS and four after it. BPI's severity and interference scores were 4.61 +/- 2.84 and 4.12 +/- 2.67, respectively, before surgery, and 2.79 +/- 2.31 (0.00-6.25) and 1.12 +/- 1.32 (0.00-3.00) after, reflecting a significant improvement (p = 0.043 and p = 0.028, respectively). NPSI score was 15.29 +/- 13.94 before, while it was reduced to 2.29 +/- 2.98 afterward (p = 0.028). MPQ's total score was 9.00 +/- 3.32 before DBS, achieving 2.71 +/- 2.93 after (p = 0.028). Conclusions: DBS improves NMS in generalized inherited/idiopathic dystonia, including chronic pain.
