Brain stimulation for cervical dystonia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with isolated cervical dystonia by a neurologist
- You have not had Botox injections in the last 3 months
- You do not have other movement disorders like Parkinson's or essential tremor
- You are not using certain neck muscle medications or therapies within 1 month of the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if adding a daily pill (valbenazine) to regular botox injections can better reduce neck muscle spasms. It helps people whose botox works but may not be enough.
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 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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce abnormal muscle spasms in people with dystonia. It uses MRI to see how the brain changes with the treatment.
This trial tests how a structured exercise program affects the brain and body changes behind focal cervical dystonia (a movement disorder that causes abnormal neck postures). It may help people who are still having symptoms despite best-available treatments like botulinum toxin injections or medicines.
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.
