Comparing two brain stimulation targets for craniocervical dystonia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests how deep brain stimulation (DBS) works when targeting two different brain areas (STN or GPi) for people with craniocervical dystonia. It aims to find which target better helps symptoms and why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have a diagnosis of primary craniocervical dystonia (dystonia affecting the head, neck, or one arm)
- You have had dystonia for at least one year
- Your thinking and memory are normal
- You can understand and sign a consent form

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.
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.
This study tracks people with dystonia who get deep brain stimulation (DBS) using a special device that can sense brain signals. It aims to see how well the treatment works over time and why it helps some people more than others.
This study tests whether using brain imaging to guide stimulation settings can improve symptoms in people with long-term deep brain stimulation for dystonia. It will compare different stimulation approaches in a blinded, step-by-step crossover design to see which one helps more.
This study measures brain signals in children with dystonia to understand how the brain controls movement, with the goal of improving treatments like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). It also uses healthy children for comparison.
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.
