Role of Cerebellum in the Treatment of Dystonia and Application of Cerebellum Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation by WENG Yajing, WU Yi, LIU Gang, CHENG Huilan, XIE Hongyu, TIAN Shan

“…At present, symptomatic treatment is mainly used including a combination of psychological and rehabilitation treatments, oral medications, botulinum toxin injections and deep brain stimulation surgery. Existing animal studies suggested that the cerebellum affects dystonia through at least three mechanisms: 1) abnormal cerebellar efferent signal patterns; 2) abnormal connections between the cerebellum and basal ganglia nuclei; 3) abnormalities in the shape or structure of cerebellar cells. …”
