Summary

This early-stage study tests whether MRI-guided focused ultrasound can safely treat task-specific focal hand dystonia, a condition causing involuntary cramping during activities like writing or playing an instrument. Ten adults who haven't improved with standard treatments will receive the procedure. The main goal is to check for side effects and see if symptoms and quality of life improve.
