Long-term monitoring of deep brain stimulation for dystonia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have isolated or generalized dystonia, not caused by another condition.
- You are between 5 and 80 years old.
- You want to have surgery to implant a deep brain stimulator in a brain area called the GPi.
- You agree to use the Percept neurostimulator, which can record brain activity.
- You or your legal guardian can understand and sign the consent form.

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 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 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 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 trial uses wearable sensors to measure how you walk before and after Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for dystonia. The goal is to see if these sensors can help predict how well DBS will work for you.
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.
