Clinical Trial Summary

Wilson disease is a hereditary hepatic and neurological disease associated with copper accumulation. Neurological symptoms are of extra-pyramidal, cerebellar and dystonic origin. Dysarthria is one of the debilitating symptoms of Wilson disease poorly responsive to pharmacological treatment. The most common form is a dystonic hyperkinetic Dysarthria. Pathophysiology of dystonia is still not elucidated. Motor cortex hyperexcitability has been demonstrated in various forms of dystonia. Furthermore, rTMS inhibitory applied over motor cortex has been shown to transitory reduce dystonic symptoms in various forms of dystonia. In the present study, we investigate the effect of a single 1Hz 20-minutes inhibitory rTMS session applied over the motor laryngeal cortex on dyasarthria is the main kinetic dysarthria has been shown to be associated with inhibition of laryngeal motor cortex in Parkinson disease.


Clinical Trial Description

A consecutive series of Wilson disease patients with dystonic hyperkinetic dysarthria will be prospectively recruited. Patients will receive 3 days apart to two rTMS sessions. rTMS procedures will be performed with a figure of eight coiled. A single 20-minutes 1 Hz biphasic stimulation (1200 pulses) session will be applied over the laryngeal motor cortex. A brain imaging positioning device will be used during all the procedure A second stimulation session will be performed 3 days apart. Patients will be centrally randomized to receive first either the active stimulation (80% of the resting motor threshold) or the sham stimulation (using a visually identical coil to reproduce the click sound and the scalp sensation of the active coil). A TMS evaluation of cortical silent period over the left motor cortex will be performed before the first rTMS session. Before and immediately after each stimulation (active or sham) patient will received an clinical evaluation including Clinical Assessment Battery for Dysarthria intelligibility score, "A" phonation time, diadococinesia , bucco-linguo-facial motricity score and UWDRS. A standard 20-minutes EEG will be performed before the first rTMS session and immediately after the second rTMS session. ;
