NCT ID NCT06701851
First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looks at brain activity in a person with a rare genetic condition called PRRT2 mutation, which causes sudden, uncontrollable movements. The participant will undergo brain scans (fMRI and EEG) during and after these episodes, and also when they voluntarily mimic the movements. The goal is to understand which brain areas are involved, especially the striatum and cerebellum, to learn more about the disorder.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help scientists understand the brain mechanisms behind paroxysmal dyskinesia, potentially pointing toward future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage observational study with only one participant, so findings may not apply to others and may not lead directly to treatments.
