The opening paragraph might be better if a short definition is given for each term like it is for paroxysmal (like for dyskinesia and hyperkinesis). How do they all relate to dystonia? It’s just a little unclear. Also perhaps moyamoya could be discussed in the “Related Disorders” section or some other part of the article to include the findings of “Moyamoya disease presenting with paroxysmal exercise-induced dyskinesia” in Parkinsonism & Related Disorders. (Volume 13, Issue 7, Pages 446-448 C. Lyoo, D. Kim, H. Chang, M. Lee) (JLB1117 (talk) 03:36, 29 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]


There is a lot of good information packed into this article. In the Related Disorders section, it should be included that PED can be closely tied to Parkinson's disease. I have read that there are cases in which PED is the preceding symptom of familial Parkinson's disease. In rare cases, PED can also be the presenting symptom. You may also want to look into "epilepsy, rolandic with paroxysmal exercise-induced dystonia and writer's cramp". In the Treatments section, there needs to be some clarification as to why the limited benefits of levodopa on treating PED symptoms makes the disease a possible precursor to Parkinson's disease.

You may want to mention the rarity of the disorder earlier on, or move up the Reported Cases section, because it would then make more sense reading about the causes of individual cases in the Causes section. In typical articles pertaining to diseases, you hear more about statistics than individual cases, so mentioning it sooner might make it clearer why you talk more about individual cases rather than statistics. “Paroxysmal exercise-induced dystonia: Eight new sporadic cases and a review of the literature,” Movement Disorders, Volume 12 Issue 6, Pages 1007 – 1012, Published Online: 4 Nov 2004. This is another paper by an author that you have used already, but it may be helpful to expanding your Sporadic Causes section which is only a couple of sentences right now. This should be enough information to find the article online. With such a rare disease, this paper should be helpful in expanding and analyzing other cases. Also, you make the point that there are only twenty cases reported worldwide of this disorder. I have not found anything to suggest that you are wrong, but since this paper talks about fifteen cases, you may just want to double check.

Is Paroxysmal Exercise-induced Dyskinesia the same as Paroxysmal Exercise-induced dystonia? If so this article may be of interest to you. You can find it at the following url: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/581684_5. The article can be used to greatly expand your wiki page with its analysis on the genetics behind the disorder. It explains how linkage studies on the pure disorder have been uneventful, but diseases,such as CSE, which include paroxysmal exercise-induced dystonia have been mapped to chromosome 1p among others. It also features a short segment on treatments that you may find useful. Giantsjs2000 (talk) 03:00, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
