Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for children with dystonia and typically developing kids to help understand how their movement disorder affects brain activity. Participants will have their brain activity measured while resting and doing simple tasks, and those with deep brain stimulation will be tested with their device on and off.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have been diagnosed with dystonia
  • I am willing and able to complete study protocols
  • I have normal developmental milestones
  • I do not have any neuropsychiatric disorders
  • I do not have any significant medical conditions

You may not be able to join if

  • I have a history of epilepsy
  • I have implanted medical devices (except DBS if I have dystonia)
  • I lack the cognitive or physical ability to complete study protocol

About This Trial
The goal of this study is to understand the development and progression of childhood dystonia, a movement disorder, in children. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does the activity of the neural network evolve in children with dystonia in the context of motor development? What are the effects of chronic and active stimulation on cortical and subcortical motor network function in child…
