Zusammenfassung
Die „Tripel-Stimulations-Technik (TST)” ist eine moderne, hochempfindliche klinisch-neurophysiologische Methode zur Erfassung von Funktionsstörungen des Tractus corticospinalis (TCS). In der vorliegenden Studie wurde sie bei jeweils 7 Patienten mit idiopathischer Parkinsonkrankheit (IPD) und multipler Systematrophie vom Parkinsontyp (MSA-P) eingesetzt, um die differenzialdignostische Wertigkeit zu überprüfen. Die MSA-P Patienten zeigten gegenüber IPD-Patienten signifikant reduzierte TST-Werte ohne Überlappung der individuellen Werte. Es kann geschlossen werden, dass die TST in der Lage ist, TCS-Schädigungen bei MSA-P-Patienten zu entdecken und einen wertvollen Beitrag in der häufig klinisch schwierigen Differenzialdiagnose zwischen MSA-P und IPD zu leisten.
Abstract
The Triple Stimulation Technique (TST) is a modern and highly sensitive clinical neurophysiological method to detect functional impairment of the corticospinal tract (CST). In this study, TST was used in 7 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) and in 7 with Multiple System Atrophy of the parkinsonian type (MSA-P) to determine its differentialdiagnostic potential. MSA-P patients showed a significant reduction of TST values in comparison to the IPD patients without overlap of the individual values. It is concluded that TST has the capacity to detect CST lesion in MSA-P patients and to contribute essentially to the frequently difficult differentialdiagnosis between MSA-P and IPD.
