Comparing two brain stimulation methods for dystonic tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares PSA (a type of deep brain stimulation targeting a different brain area) versus traditional STN DBS for treating dystonic tremor. It aims to see which method provides better tremor control with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with dystonic tremor (a type of tremor caused by muscle contractions).
- You have had tremor or other movement symptoms for at least 3 years.
- If you take tremor medications, your dose has been the same for the last 28 days.
- You are willing to follow the study procedures and sign a consent form.

This trial compares two ways to place electrodes in the brain to reduce tremors. It may help people with Parkinson's disease whose main symptom is shaking.
This study tests deep brain stimulation (DBS), a therapy that sends electrical signals to the brain, for movement problems like Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. It may help people whose symptoms are not controlled enough with medications, or who already have a DBS device and need ongoing management.
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.
This trial tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with severe tremor from essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, or cerebellar conditions who haven't improved with standard treatments. It targets a different brain area to see if it can reduce shaking and improve daily activities.
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.
