Introduction
I am a neurology resident, clinician scientist and also a trained concert pianist. My research interests focus in particular on task-specific movement disorders such as task-specific dystonia. Due to my dual qualification as a clinician and musician, I am particularly interested in musician's dystonia, a task-specific dystonia that occurs on the instrument.
Other interests include tremor and Parkinson's syndromes, neurodegeneration and research into the effects of music on the brain.

Background
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative movement disorder clinically characterized by falls, axial rigidity, vertical supranuclear gaze palsy, bradykinesia, and cognitive decline. There is a relative lack of studies on the functional neuroimaging correlates of cognitive impairment in PSP.
Objective
This study in...
Introduction
Neuropsychiatric symptoms in particular impair health-related quality of life (QoL) of patients with Parkinson’s disease and atypical Parkinsonian syndromes. For this reason, various scales have been developed for detection of neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as the Scale for evaluation of neuropsychiatric disorders in Parkinson’s disea...
Objective
The Progressive Supranuclear Palsy quality of life scale (PSP‐QoL) has been shown to be a useful tool for capturing health‐related quality of life of patients in “everyday life” and in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) research. However, at 45 items in length, the questionnaire can take a long time, exhausting PSP patients, in particul...
Background
Participation in multimodal leisure activities, such as playing a musical instrument, may be protective against brain aging and dementia in older adults (OA). Potential neuroprotective correlates underlying musical activity remain unclear.
Objective
This cross-sectional study investigated the association between lifetime musical activit...
Background
Musician's Dystonia (MD) is a task specific, focal dystonia which usually occurs only at the instrument. The pathophysiology is not fully understood, but several risk factors like over‐practice and genetic predisposition are known. Interestingly, 80% of those affected are men, which stands in contrast to the gender distribution in other...
Background
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a complex and fatal neurodegenerative movement disorder. Understanding the comorbidities and drug therapy is crucial for MSA patients’ safety and management.
Objectives
To investigate the pattern of comorbidities and aspects of drug therapy in MSA patients.
Methods
Cross-sectional data of MSA patients a...
Background
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is usually diagnosed in elderly. Currently, little is known about comorbidities and the co-medication in these patients.
Objectives
To explore the pattern of comorbidities and co-medication in PSP patients according to the known different phenotypes and in comparison with patients without neurodegene...
Musician’s Dystonia (MD) is a task-specific movement disorder that results in an involuntary cramping of muscles involved in playing an instrument such as the upper limbs or the embouchure. It is usually painless and occurs in general only at the instrument. The pathophysiology of MD is not completely understood. The present study aimed at assessin...
While the pathophysiology of embouchure dystonia, a sub-entity of musician's dystonia, is still not fully understood, recent research has shown that it involves alterations of several brain functions and networks. Maladaptive plasticity in sensorimotor integration, sensory perception, and deficient inhibitory mechanisms at cortical, subcortical, an...
