Background: Evidence suggests that non-motor symptoms (NMS) are the most important predictors of decreased health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in patients with cervical dystonia (CD). In this study, we evaluate an NMS screening list and examine the influence of motor symptoms and NMS on HR-QoL.

Methods: In 40 patients with CD, the frequency of NMS was evaluated using an extended NMS questionnaire.

  • The study explores how personality similarity between parents and their children affects the development of externalizing problems in adolescents.
  • Using data from the TRAILS study, researchers analyzed personality traits from parents and offspring at ages 16 and 19 to assess the impact on externalizing behaviors.
  • Results showed limited support for theories based on evolutionary and goodness-of-fit perspectives, indicating that the offspring's personality more directly influences externalizing issues rather than similarity with parents.

Background: Nonmotor symptoms (NMS) are highly prevalent in cervical dystonia (CD). In general, fatigue and sleep are important NMS that determine a decreased health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), but their influence in CD is unknown. The authors systematically investigated fatigue, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), and sleep quality in patients with CD and controls and assessed the influence of psychiatric comorbidity, pain, and dystonia motor severity.
