ABSTRACT Background Stiff-person syndrome is a disabling central nervous system disorder with no satisfactory treatment that is characterized by muscle rigidity, episodic muscle spasms, high titers of antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), and a frequent association with autoimmune disorders. Because stiff-person syndrome is most likely immune-mediated, we evaluated the efficacy of intravenous immune globulin. Methods We assigned 16 patients who had stiff-person syndrome and anti-GAD65 antibodies, in random order, to receive intravenous immune globulin or placebo for three months, followed by a one-month washout period and then by three months of therapy with the alternative agent. Efficacy was judged by improvements in scores

    INTRODUCTION Stiff-man syndrome (SMS), a rare neurological disorder, is characterized by marked rigidity of the axial and proximal limb muscles. Patients fluctuate between being asymptomatic to having extreme spasms extending to the hands, feet, and face. The spasms are usually precipitated by anxiety, sudden motion or other external stimuli, and can be severe enough to fracture a bone. The condition was initially described by Moersch and Woltman in 1956. They observed 14 patients over 32 years who had fluctuating and progressive muscle rigidity. They named the condition “stiff-man syndrome” as 83% of all cases were men. Over the last few years' research suggests the etiology of SMS may be autoimmune in nature. Some patients do respond favorably to immune modulating therapy.

The stiff-person syndrome, a rare and disabling disorder, is characterized by muscle rigidity and episodic spasms that involve axial and limb musculature. Continuous contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles caused by involuntary motor-unit firing at rest are the hallmark clinical and electrophysiologic signs of the disease. Except for global muscle stiffness, results of neurologic examination are usually normal. Results of conventional

Murinson, Beth Brianna MD, PhD Abstract:
Background: Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurologic disorder with autoimmune features. It is characterized by progressive, severe muscle rigidity or stiffness most prominently affecting the spine and lower extremities. Review Summary: Superimposed muscle spasms result in simultaneous contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles which are detectable by electromyography (EMG) and relieved by administration of benzodiazepines. The exacerbation of SPS by emotional stressors often results in the referral of these patients for psychiatric assessment although this was more common before the discovery of an association with antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD antibodies). Formerly known as stiff-man syndrome, the female to male ratio is 2:1 and the principle paraneoplastic variant is associated with breast cancer. Although rare, this is a disease of middle age that severely curtails the functional capacity of those it strikes. It is frequently associated with diabetes and other autoimmune diseases. IVIg is recently demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of SPS; diazepam remains useful in managing the symptoms. Conclusions: This article summarizes the history of SPS, describes important clinical features, discusses management, touches upon areas of uncertainty, and postulates some avenues for research.

Stiff-Person Syndrome
Definition: A condition characterized by persistent spasms (SPASM) involving multiple muscles, primarily in the lower limbs and trunk. The illness tends to occur in the fourth to sixth decade of life, presenting with intermittent spasms that become continuous. Minor sensory stimuli, such as noise and light touch, precipitate severe spasms. Spasms do not occur during sleep and only rarely involve cranial muscles. Respiration may become impaired in advanced cases.

Stiff person-Syndrom) B. The clinical spectrumof anti-GAD antibodypositive patients with stiff-person syndrome.
http://www.dgn.org/133.0.html
Definition
Das Stiff man-Syndrom ist klinisch charakterisiert durch massive rigide Steigerung des Muskeltonus mit schmerzhaft einschießenden Spasmen, episodische adrenerge autonome Dysregulation und agoraphobische Angststörung. Die Muskeldehnungsreflexe können gesteigert sein, weitere neurologische Symptome fehlen. Beschränkung der Hauptsymptome auf eine Gliedmaße (Stiff limb-Syndrom, SLS) kommt als "Minusvariante" vor. Bei der "Plusvariante" des SMS (progressive Enzephalomyelitis mit Rigidität und Myoklonien, PERM) treten u.U. nur flüchtige neurologische Symptome (z.B. Augenbewegungsstörungen, Pyramidenbahnzeichen, Ataxie, Paresen) hinzu. Der Nachweis von Autoantikörpern gegen Glutamat-Dekarboxylase (GAD) mit intrathekaler Antikörperproduktion bei ca 70 % der Patienten und assoziierte Autoimmunerkrankungen bei ca. 50 % (vor allem Typ 1 Diabetes mellitus, Autoimmun-Hyperthyreose) sind Argumente für eine immunologische Genese.
Klinik
Erkrankungsalter 13 - 72 Jahre (Mittel 46 Jahre) Spontanverlauf und –prognose schleichende Progression über Monate, nachfolgend Stabilität über Jahrzehnte, selten auch schubförmige Verschlechterung (vor allem bei der Plusvariante PERM). Im Krankheitsverlauf können neue neurologische Symptome hinzukommen (z.B. Augenbewegungsstörungen, Pyramidenbahnzeichen, Ataxie, Paresen). Spontanheilungen sind extrem selten.
