Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine the physical brain changes in people with cervical dystonia after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and as compared to healthy controls. We will do this by measuring your body's response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) before and/or after DBS surgery. TMS is a non-invasive procedure during which you sit in a chair that looks like one you would find at the dentist's office. A nerve stimulator is placed on the wrist of the right hand to stimulate the median nerve; the intensity of the nerve stimulator is gradually increased until the right thumb begins to twitch. A magnetic coil is placed on the scalp on one side of the head, overlying the brain's motor cortex, to stimulate the brain's output to the muscles in the opposite hand. If you are a control subject, and therefore will not/have not have DBS surgery, we will measure the body's response to TMS for comparison purposes. We expect that the electrical differences in the brain may be related to the physical benefits some patients with primary cervical dystonia receive from DBS surgery.
Primary Outcome
The purpose of this research study is to determine the physical brain changes in people with cervical dystonia after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. We will do this by measuring your body's response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) before and/or after DBS surgery, unless you are a control subject. If you are a dystonia control subject (not planning DBS), we will measure your body's response to TMS on two occasions. If you are healthy control subject, we will measure your body's r

What the finished NCT01671527 record still lists
NCT01671527 is an observational study that tracks outcomes without assigning an intervention. The registry caps enrollment at 29 participants, a relatively small participant target, below the 85-participant average among 15 other Cervical Dystonia trials with a reported enrollment target (66% lower).
The record links to 1 condition, with Cervical Dystonia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention - of which Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is the first listed.
NCT01671527 reports a single indexed study location in Florida.
