Magnetic pulses to the brain may ease neck dystonia symptoms

This study investigates whether a type of noninvasive brain stimulation called continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) can reduce symptoms of cervical dystonia, a condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions in the neck and head. Participants receive either real or sham cTBS over eight days, with symptom changes measured using clinical scales and motion sensors. The trial aims to see if this safe, drug-free approach can improve movement, pain, and quality of life.
