Deep brain stimulation for cervical dystonia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two brain stimulation targets to treat cervical dystonia, a condition causing neck muscle spasms. It aims to help people who haven't gotten relief from medications or botulinum toxin injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical dystonia that is not caused by another condition.
- Your symptoms are severe enough to affect daily life.
- You haven't found botulinum toxin injections helpful, or you choose not to get them.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have not had any previous surgery for dystonia and do not have other serious health issues.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce symptoms of cervical dystonia. It aims to see if gentle magnetic pulses to the head can improve neck muscle control without surgery.
This trial tests a new botulinum toxin medication (IPN10200) for adults with cervical dystonia, a condition that causes painful muscle spasms in the neck and shoulders. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective in reducing symptoms.
This study tests whether combining physiotherapy with Botox injections can improve neck control in people with cervical dystonia. It also looks at how 'sensory tricks' (like touching your face) help the brain control symptoms, using brain scans to understand why.
This trial studies deep brain stimulation (a surgically placed device that sends targeted electrical signals) to treat idiopathic craniofacial dystonia when medicines or botulinum toxin haven’t helped enough. It compares stimulating two brain targets (GPi versus STN) to see which approach may improve symptoms.
This trial compares two brain targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgery that uses implanted electrodes to help control Parkinson's symptoms. It aims to see which target works better for people whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called TMS to see if it can improve neck muscle spasms in people with cervical dystonia. It's for adults who haven't had Botox recently and are not on other treatments.
