O135 Sensory evoked potentials and central motor conduction times in children with dystonia help predict outcomes from Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the Globus Pallidus Internus produces dramatic benefits in primary dystonia. Improvements in patients with secondary dystonia are smaller and vary markedly between individuals. Predictive markers are lacking. This study tests the hypothesis that Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SEPs) and Central Motor Conduction Times (CMCT) may predict outcome from DBS in childhood dystonia.
