Myoclonus-dystonia syndrome

This completed study from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke aimed to better understand how the brain controls movement and what goes wrong in movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, Tourette's syndrome, and dystonia. Over 1,200 adults—both patients …

This study looked at 102 adults with dystonia, a condition causing involuntary muscle contractions. Researchers used questionnaires and brain wave recordings to assess memory, attention, mood, and decision-making. The goal was to better understand the non-motor symptoms of dyston…

This completed study looked at how the cerebellum is involved in movement, thinking, and emotions in people with myoclonus dystonia, a rare movement disorder. Researchers used MRI scans to compare brain activity in 47 participants while they performed small tasks. The goal was to…

This study looked at how people with cervical or myoclonus dystonia perceive their own actions, known as the 'sense of agency.' Researchers used computer tasks and brain scans to measure how accurately participants felt in control of their movements. The goal was to link these fe…

This study tested a wrist-worn device called the Personal KinetiGraph (PKG) to see if it can accurately measure movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Nineteen participants wore the device while researchers compared its readings to standard clinical tests and video…
