This completed study from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke aimed to better understand how the brain controls movement and what goes wrong in movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, Tourette's syndrome, and dystonia. Over 1,200 adults—both patients …

This study looked at 102 adults with dystonia, a condition causing involuntary muscle contractions. Researchers used questionnaires and brain wave recordings to assess memory, attention, mood, and decision-making. The goal was to better understand the non-motor symptoms of dyston…

This study looked at how two brain regions—the cerebellum and striatum—communicate in people with dystonia caused by ADCY5 or PRRT2 gene mutations. Researchers used MRI scans and mild brain stimulation to compare brain activity among patients and healthy volunteers. The goal was …

This study tested a wrist-worn device called the Personal KinetiGraph (PKG) to see if it can accurately measure movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Nineteen participants wore the device while researchers compared its readings to standard clinical tests and video…
