Lesioning procedures for movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial looks at a treatment called lesioning for people with movement disorders like tremors or dystonia. It aims to see how well this procedure works and if it can help improve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a movement disorder (such as tremors, parkinsonism, or dystonia)
- You are being considered for a lesioning procedure (a treatment that targets a small area in your brain)
- You are of any age or sex
- You agree to take part in the trial and give your consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a targeted brain treatment called radiofrequency pallidotomy can safely improve symptoms of dystonia, a movement disorder that causes muscle spasms. The procedure uses heat to adjust a small part of the brain involved in movement.
This trial studies outcomes after deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses implanted electrodes) for people with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. It may help doctors understand who benefits most and how outcomes change after treatment.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
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.
This trial tests a continuous electrical brain stimulation device placed in a deep brain area to help Parkinson’s symptoms—especially tremor and trouble with movement. It may help improve daily function and reduce periods when medicine does not work well.
This study looks at how “inhibitory control” brain networks work in people with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor. If you are eligible for surgery and can do the study tasks, your results may help researchers better understand movement disorders and guide future treatments.
