Scientists scan brains to unlock why dystonia patients feel out of control

NCT ID NCT03351218

Summary

This study aimed to understand how dystonia affects a person's sense of agency—the feeling of being in control of one's own movements. Researchers used brain scans (MRI) and computer-based thinking tests to compare 76 people with cervical or myoclonus dystonia to healthy volunteers. The goal was to learn more about the brain's role in this symptom, not to test a new treatment.
