Deep brain stimulation for genetic movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is for people of any age with a genetic movement disorder who are getting or considering deep brain stimulation (DBS). It tries to match the best DBS settings for each person.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a movement disorder caused by a genetic change
- You are either scheduled for DBS surgery or doctors are thinking about it for you
- You have already received DBS treatment

This study creates a list of children who already have or plan to get Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to see how it helps with movement problems. Joining helps doctors learn more about how DBS works in kids.
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 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 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 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 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.
