Effectiveness of rTMS and Retraining in the Treatment of Focal Hand Dystonia
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Sensorimotor Retraining, and 1 other intervention for Focal Dystonia. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study is exploring a new experimental procedure in dystonia called repetitive transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) combined with rehabilitation. The purpose of the study is to determine whether repetitive TMS is effective as a treatment to reduce symptoms in dystonia as demonstrated by improved motor performance.

Timeline
Interventions
Applied to the premotor cortex at 1 Hz at 90% resting motor threshold for 1200 pulses.
For sensorimotor retraining, a subset of the Learning-based Sensorimotor Training program was followed
A non-specific massage and stretching program directed to the hand, wrist and forearm
