| 09:20-10:10 | DBS in tardive dyskinesia? |
| Capsule: Treatment options for tardive dyskinesias include pharmacological interventions (oral medications and Botulinum toxin injections), but the effects are limited and new pharmacological forms of tetrabenazine (eg valbenazine) are expensive. Other limitations may be the result of side effects of medications (e.g. depression or parkinsonism after tetrabenazine) and very complex form of abnormal movements (e.g. oromandibular or other segmental dystonia), difficult to treat with local injections of Botulinum toxin. Therefore, however the evidence is limited DBS may offer a good treatment option for refractory and most severe cases. | |
