Essential Tremor, Cervical Dystonia
Neurophysiologic Study of Patient With Essential Tremor and Dystonic Tremor
Background: Essential tremor is when a person has tremor, but no other neurological symptoms. Dystonic tremor is when a person also has dystonia. Dystonia is a condition in which muscle contraction causes changes in posture.
- Conditions
- Essential Tremor, Cervical Dystonia, Focal Dystonia
- Trial name
- NCT03041714
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 2 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Dystonia
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Focal Hand Dystonia
Background: The brain has natural electrical rhythms of brain activities. These rhythms may be different in people with movement disorders, such as dystonia (involuntary muscle movement, cramps, or tremors).

- NCT01792336
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 30 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Dystonia, Focal Hand Dystonia
Transcranial Electrical Polarization to Treat Focal Hand Dystonia
This study will evaluate the effect of transcranial electrical polarization (TEP), also called direct current (DC) stimulation, on focal hand dystonia in people with writer's cramp.

- Dystonia, Focal Hand Dystonia, FHD
- Trial name
- NCT00106782
