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+ - NCT07309133Recruiting
Brain signals in dystonia
This trial records brain signals during deep brain stimulation surgery to learn more about dystonia. It may help doctors understand how to improve treatment for people with this condition.
Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & WearAges 18 years+ - NCT03977493RecruitingPhase 3
Xeomin injections for focal hand muscle spasms
This trial tests incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) injections to reduce focal hand dystonia—unwanted muscle tightening in the hand. You may be able to join whether you’ve had this condition before or have tried similar injections in the past, as long as certain safety rules are met.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05095740Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for laryngeal dystonia symptoms
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (referred to as neuromodulation, such as rTMS) can improve symptoms of laryngeal dystonia. It’s meant to see if stimulating certain brain areas can reduce how severely your voice/throat problem affects you.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–85 - NCT06367608Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for task-specific hand dystonia
This trial tests a new way to treat severe hand cramps that happen only when you do a specific task (like writing or playing an instrument). It uses focused ultrasound to precisely target a small area in the brain to calm the unwanted movements.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–75 - NCT07168850Recruiting
Focused Ultrasound for Dystonia of Arms or Legs
This study tests whether focused ultrasound, a noninvasive treatment that uses sound waves to target a small area in the brain, can improve limb dystonia that has not been helped by medications or Botox injections. It is a possible option for people whose dystonia affects their arms or legs and who are looking for another treatment without surgery.
Mestre, (Venice)Ages 18–80 - NCT03042962Recruiting
Brain imaging study of focal dystonia and related conditions
This trial uses brain scans to understand how brain networks work in people with focal dystonia, and to compare with family members and healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand what goes wrong in the brain and guide future treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dystonia, focal?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 7 recruiting dystonia, focal 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, focal 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, focal 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.
