Primary Cervical Dystonia (Trihexyphenidyl)
After the baseline testing these subjects will receive a dose of trihexyphenidyl 2 mg an hour prior to the second functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan. This is to test the change in cerebral blood flow based on blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast during a precision gripping task after administration of trihexyphenidyl compared to change in BOLD contrast during a precision gripping task. The subjects will be done with the study after the second MRI scan has been completed.
Controls Primary Cervical Dystonia (Trihexyphenidyl)
These subjects will receive the following: 1) data about clinical movement disorder history, age, gender, height, weight, and other medical conditions; 2) clinical neurological examination; 3) tests assessing cognitive abilities including: the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Stroop, Digit Span, and Brief Test of Attention (BTA); 4) measures of anxiety and depression: the Beck Depression Index (BDI II). Only participants aged 18+ will be given the BDI; and 5) Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and structural MRI will be performed.
DYT 1 Dystonia (Healthy Control)
These subjects will receive the following: 1) data about clinical movement disorder history, age, gender, height, weight, and other medical conditions; 2) clinical neurological examination; 3) tests assessing cognitive abilities including: the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Stroop, Digit Span, and Brief Test of Attention (BTA); 4) measures of anxiety and depression: the Beck Depression Index (BDI II). Only participants aged 18+ will be given the BDI; and 5) Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and structural MRI will be performed.
