Official title
Theta-burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Treatment of Childhood Dystonia and Spasticity
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) is a type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) method that reduces the excitability of a small region of brain for less than one hour. Since dystonia and spasticity may be associated with increased excitability of motor cortex, we expect that by reducing the excitability of motor cortex with TBS we will temporarily improve these symptoms and hopefully open avenues in the future for the use of TBS as a new, non-invasive therapeutic intervention to aid in physical therapy and symptom amelioration of dystonia and spasticity. We will test for motor improvement during the hour immediately following TBS using tests of muscle function and quality of limb movement.
