Brain signals in dystonia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with primary dystonia (not caused by another condition).
- You are scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in a part of the brain called the GPi.
- You can understand the study and agree to take part.
- You do not have a serious neurological or psychiatric condition (like dementia) that could affect the results.
- You have not taken part in a treatment research study in the past year.
- You do not have functional (psychogenic) dystonia.

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 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.
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 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 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.
