Dystonia clinical trials
Below are recruiting dystonia clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 63 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT06566066Recruiting
Thyroid hormone resistance patient registry
This study creates a registry for people with thyroid hormone resistance caused by specific genetic mutations. It helps doctors collect data to better understand and treat the condition.
BerlinAges Any age - 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 - 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 - NCT06606574Recruiting
Baclofen pump for children with cerebral palsy and dystonia
This study tests if a pump that delivers baclofen directly into the spinal fluid can help children with cerebral palsy who have severe dystonia (uncontrolled muscle tightness). It looks at how well the treatment works and tracks progress over time.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 17 years - NCT06716983Recruiting
Brain activity study in dystonia with deep brain stimulation
This study looks at brain activity patterns in people with dystonia who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. By recording brain signals during MRI and other tests, researchers hope to learn how DBS helps control movement.
MilanAges 12 years+ - 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+ - NCT06899022Recruiting
Attention and eye movement in Parkinson's disease
This study looks at how attention and eye movements work in people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. It tests abilities during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and when DBS settings are changed.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–90 - 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 - 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 - NCT07190092Recruiting
Brain stimulation for post-stroke muscle stiffness and movement
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (deep anterior cerebellar stimulation) to see if it can reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement in people who had a stroke 9–36 months ago and still have tightness or weakness that hasn't gotten better with therapy.
BydgoszczAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT02553525Enrolling by invitation
Testing different stimulation patterns in Parkinson’s, tremor, and MS
This study tests whether changing the “stimulation pattern” in a deep brain stimulator can improve how well symptoms are controlled. If you are already getting (or replacing) a deep brain stimulator, this may help fine-tune the settings for you.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–80 - 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 - 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

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dystonia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 63 recruiting dystonia 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 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 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.
