Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormalities of vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease are associated with clinical evidence of brainstem involvement
Edoardo Rosario de Natale,Francesca Ginatempo,Kai Stephan Paulus,Giovanni Mario Pes,Andrea Manca,Eusebio Tolu,Virgilio Agnetti,Franca Deriu +7 more
TL;DR: The VEMP battery under study allowed the identification of brain stem dysfunctions in PD patients, which correlated with clinical tests suggestive of postural and REM sleep disorders, and might represent a valuable tool of brainstem assessment in PD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paired neurophysiological and clinical study of the brainstem at different stages of Parkinson’s Disease
E.R. de Natale,Francesca Ginatempo,Kai Stephan Paulus,Andrea Manca,Beniamina Mercante,Giovanni Mario Pes,Virgilio Agnetti,Eusebio Tolu,Franca Deriu +8 more
TL;DR: VEMPs displayed progressive severity of alterations at different stages of PD, with remarkable correlations with presence of postural instability and RBD, and may provide interesting insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of PD at the earliest and prodromal stage of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring brainstem function in multiple sclerosis by combining brainstem reflexes, evoked potentials, clinical and MRI investigations
I. Magnano,Giovanni Mario Pes,G. Pilurzi,Maria Paola Cabboi,Francesca Ginatempo,Elena Giaconi,Eusebio Tolu,A Achene,Antonio Salis,John C. Rothwell,Maurizio Conti,Franca Deriu +11 more
TL;DR: The four-BSR battery effectively increases the performance of standard EPs in early detection of brainstem impairment, otherwise undetected by clinical examination and neuroimaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomo-Physiologic Basis for Auricular Stimulation.
TL;DR: Accumulating evidence suggests that VNS and TNS share multiple levels and mechanisms of action in the central nervous system, however, the sites and neurobiologic mechanisms by which they produce their therapeutic effects are not clear yet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance Training for Muscle Weakness in Multiple Sclerosis: Direct Versus Contralateral Approach in Individuals With Ankle Dorsiflexors' Disparity in Strength.
Andrea Manca,Maria Paola Cabboi,Daniele Dragone,Francesca Ginatempo,Enzo Ortu,Edoardo Rosario de Natale,Beniamina Mercante,Giovanni Mureddu,Guido Bua,Franca Deriu +9 more
TL;DR: After 6 weeks of training, CST proved as effective as direct strengthTraining in enhancing performance of the more affected limb with a different time course, which may have practical implications in management of severely weakened limbs where direct strength training is not initially possible.
