Using GPi brain signals to guide DBS programming for primary dystonia
This study will test whether recording local field potentials from the globus pallidus interna with the Medtronic Percept device can help guide DBS programming and improve symptoms in adults with primary dystonia.
-
Unilateral focused ultrasound pallidotomy for medication‑resistant limb dystonia
This will test whether a non‑invasive focused ultrasound procedure can reduce arm or leg dystonia symptoms in adults who haven't improved with medicines or botulinum toxin.
