NCT ID NCT06716983

First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with dystonia, a movement disorder. Researchers will use brain scans and electrical recordings from 15 participants who already have DBS implants. The goal is to understand how DBS changes brain activity and how those changes relate to symptom improvement, which could lead to smarter, closed-loop DBS devices in the future.
