NCT ID NCT07168850

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study tests whether focused ultrasound, a non-invasive procedure that creates a tiny lesion in a brain region controlling movement, can safely reduce symptoms of limb dystonia in adults who haven't responded to medications or botulinum toxin. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the real treatment or a sham procedure, and are followed for 6 months. The goal is to offer a new, non-surgical option for managing this condition.
