First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests whether a rapid form of brain stimulation (accelerated TMS) can improve hand function in people with focal hand dystonia, a condition causing involuntary muscle contractions during tasks like writing. Twenty-one adults receive four TMS sessions in one day, with follow-up visits over 20 weeks to measure changes in writing and brain scans. The goal is to ease symptoms and understand how TMS affects the brain, with careful screening to minimize seizure risk.
