Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke movement disorders (PSMD) encompass a wide array of presentations, which vary in mode of onset, phenomenology, response to treatment, and natural history. There are no evidence-based guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of PSMD. OBJECTIVES To survey current opinions and practices on the diagnosis and treatment of PSMD. METHODS A survey was developed by the PSMD Study Group, commissioned by the International Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Society (MDS). The survey, distributed to all members, yielded a total of 529 responses, 395 (74.7%) of which came from clinicians with experience with PSMD. RESULTS Parkinsonism (68%), hemiballismus/hemichorea (61%), tremor (58%), and dystonia (54%) were by far the most commonly endorsed presentation of PSMD, although this varied by region. Basal ganglia stroke (76% of responders), symptoms contralateral to stroke (75%), and a temporal relationship (59%) were considered important factors for the diagnosis of PSMD. Oral medication use depended on the phenomenology of the PSMD. Almost 50% of respondents considered deep brain stimulation and ablative surgeries as options for treatment. The lack of guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment was considered the most important gap to address. CONCLUSIONS Regionally varying opinions and practices on PSMD highlight gaps in (and mistranslation of) epidemiologic and therapeutic knowledge. Multicenter registries and prospective community-based studies are needed for the creation of evidence-based guidelines to inform the diagnosis and treatment of patients with PSMD.
