Abstract
This study aimed to understand how SGCE-myoclonus dystonia develops from childhood to early adulthood.
Researchers looked at two groups of patients from Spain and the Netherlands. They used specific scales to measure myoclonus (sudden muscle jerks) and dystonia (muscle contractions). They calculated how much these symptoms changed over time and also checked for mental health issues in the Spanish group.
A total of 38 patients (21 males and 17 females) were studied, with ages ranging from 2 to 25 years. The researchers found that the symptoms of myoclonus and dystonia got worse over time, especially during activities like writing. Patients reported that their ability to speak, write, and walk also declined. Additionally, many patients experienced mental health issues, including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
