Dystonia Treatment With Injections Supplemented By Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating rTMS for Cervical Dystonia. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We applied 16 sessions of rTMS over 4 consecutive days for adult patients suffering from cervical dystonia who received botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections on a regular basis. The TMS protocol took place 9 weeks following their last BoNT injection. The primary outcome measure was improvement in cervical dystonia as measured by the TWSTRS scale. The secondary outcome measures included mood, cognition, and gait measures.

Timeline
Interventions
repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a painless, noninvasive form of neurostimulation. This study uses an accelerated protocol in which the neurostimulation pulses are delivered in 4 sessions per day over 4 consecutive days (16 total sessions). Active or sham rTMS will be provided at 9 weeks following botox injections.
