Vibration therapy for neck dystonia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle vibration device placed on the neck can improve head posture in people with cervical dystonia (neck muscle spasms). The goal is to find the best vibration strength to help reduce symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether combining physiotherapy with Botox injections can improve neck control in people with cervical dystonia. It also looks at how 'sensory tricks' (like touching your face) help the brain control symptoms, using brain scans to understand why.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce symptoms of cervical dystonia. It aims to see if gentle magnetic pulses to the head can improve neck muscle control without surgery.
This study compares two different brain stimulation targets to treat cervical dystonia (painful neck muscle contractions). It may help people whose symptoms are no longer controlled by neck medicine or botulinum toxin shots.
This trial tests a new botulinum toxin medication (IPN10200) for adults with cervical dystonia, a condition that causes painful muscle spasms in the neck and shoulders. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective in reducing symptoms.
This study tests if adding a daily pill (valbenazine) to regular botox injections can better reduce neck muscle spasms. It helps people whose botox works but may not be enough.
This trial tests if taking zinc supplements can improve symptoms of cervical dystonia (a condition causing neck muscle spasms) for people who already get Botox injections. It adds zinc to your regular Botox treatment to see if it helps control symptoms better.
