Preoperative Functional Imaging Predicts Deep Brain Stimulation Outcome in Craniocervical Dystonia.
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for craniocervical dystonia (CCD), yet postoperative benefit varies widely and cannot be estimated before surgery. Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) has shown prognostic value across DBS indications. The objective of this study was to develop and...
