Recruiting studies
- NCT03428009Recruiting
Study links dystonia symptoms to genetic and brain differences
This study looks at how different types of dystonia (movement disorders) relate to genetics and brain findings from scans. You might help researchers understand why symptoms look different from person to person and what patterns may matter.
Dallas, TexasAges 11 years+ - NCT06999096Recruiting
Long-read gene testing for inherited movement disorders
This study uses a new DNA reading method to find hidden genetic causes of dystonia. It is for people with dystonia who had standard genetic testing that did not find a cause.
MontpellierAges Any age - NCT06967727Recruiting
Registry study for epilepsy and movement disorders
This study is creating a registry to track the health of people who have specific genetic changes that cause epilepsy and uncontrolled movements (dyskinesia). It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they change over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–30 years - NCT06585605Recruiting
Study of epilepsy and movement disorder genes in children
This study looks at children with epilepsy and movement disorders to better understand the genes involved. It aims to help doctors recognize and treat these conditions more effectively.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–18 years - NCT07626216RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain Stimulation Study for Involuntary Movement Disorders
This research tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can help improve abnormal brain activity patterns in people with dystonia, a condition causing sustained involuntary movements. Researchers will use brain imaging to see if this treatment helps.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06554288RecruitingPhase 1
Trihexyphenidyl for dystonia in cerebral palsy
This study tests how a medicine called trihexyphenidyl works in children with dystonic cerebral palsy, a condition that causes muscle spasms. Researchers want to learn if a child’s genes affect how the medicine works and how the body processes it.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 5–17 - NCT05943652Recruiting
Study of how functional overlay affects movement disorders
This study looks at movement disorders that are functional (not caused by damage to the nervous system) or non-functional, and how a “functional overlay” may change symptoms. It is observational, meaning it does not test a new treatment, but it may help researchers better understand these differences and improve care.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–18 - NCT00575081Recruiting
Brain mapping during stereotactic procedures
This study builds a “brain atlas” by collecting information during stereotactic brain procedures. It may help doctors better plan and understand these brain procedures in the future.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 6–90 - NCT06912841Enrolling by invitation
Deep brain stimulation for genetic movement disorders
This trial is for people of any age with a genetic movement disorder who are getting or considering deep brain stimulation (DBS). It tries to match the best DBS settings for each person.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04777825Recruiting
Biofeedback training to help heart-rate stress signals
This trial studies whether heart-rate variability biofeedback training can reduce distress and symptoms in people whose symptoms seem physical but are linked to psychological factors (somatoform-related issues). It may help you learn to better control stress-related body signals through training sessions.
MontpellierAges 18–75 - NCT07417280Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for neurological disorders
This trial tests a gentle ultrasound treatment (LIFUS) for people with various brain conditions like epilepsy, tumours, or movement disorders. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help where other treatments are being used.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–85 - NCT04071847Recruiting
Study tracking results after Abbott deep brain stimulator surgery
This study follows people who are getting a new Abbott deep brain stimulator (DBS) device or replacing the battery/implantable pulse generator to see how outcomes change over time. It mainly applies to certain DBS targets and diagnoses, and it uses follow-up visits to track results.
Tucson, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT06553625Recruiting
RF ablation study for pain or CNS conditions
This study observes how well a Boston Scientific radiofrequency (RF) system works for treating pain or central nervous system (CNS) conditions. It helps researchers understand real-world benefits for patients scheduled for this procedure.
CologneAges Any age - NCT06724029Recruiting
Neurosurgery outcomes research for multiple conditions
This study collects data from people having brain or spine surgery for many different conditions. It aims to understand how well different treatments work and how people recover. If you are scheduled for certain brain, spine, or nerve surgeries, you may be able to join.
Bergamo, BGAges 18 years+ - NCT05317390Recruiting
Tests an AI tool to diagnose isolated dystonia
This trial checks whether an AI (software) called DystoniaNet can accurately identify isolated dystonia using information from your evaluation, and compares its results to standard diagnosis. If you have focal, segmental, or generalized dystonia, this study may help improve faster and more accurate diagnosis in the future.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05216770RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain-scan study of voice dystonia and tremor
This early study uses brain and voice-related testing to better understand what is happening in the brain in people with laryngeal dystonia or voice tremor. The results may help scientists learn more about these conditions and how they differ from healthy voices.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT01581580Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation surgery for movement disorders
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation surgery can help people with certain movement problems, chosen by a specialized team. You may be considered if medicines (or other treatments) aren’t controlling your symptoms well enough or if the condition causes major disability.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06585618Recruiting
Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry
This study creates a list of children who already have or plan to get Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to see how it helps with movement problems. Joining helps doctors learn more about how DBS works in kids.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–18 years - NCT07167732Recruiting
CTNNB1 Syndrome Natural History Study
This study follows people with CTNNB1 syndrome over time to better understand the condition. It does not test any new treatment—just collects information to help future research.
SydneyAges Any age - NCT06174948Recruiting
CUE1 device for Parkinson's and related movement disorders
This trial tests a small device called CUE1 that gives gentle vibrations on the chest to help improve movement and balance in people with Parkinson's disease and similar conditions. It may help if you have trouble with walking or stability.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dystonia disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 20 recruiting dystonia disorder studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a dystonia disorder trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a dystonia disorder trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
