Brain activity study in movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at brain activity in people with movement disorders like Parkinson's, dystonia, tremor, and ataxia. It aims to better understand how parts of the brain work together, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a movement disorder by a specialist, such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, tremor, ataxia, or other conditions like chorea or tics.
- You do not have dementia.

This study looks at brain signals, thinking, and movement behaviors in people who have Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor and are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It may help researchers better understand how DBS affects the brain and day-to-day function.
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 research tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can help improve abnormal brain activity patterns in people with dystonia, a condition causing sustained involuntary movements. Researchers will use brain imaging to see if this treatment helps.
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 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 looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
