View clinical trials related to Secondary Dystonia.
Filter by:Dystonia is the most common movement disorder in the pediatric population after spasticity. It can affect normal motor development and cause significant motor retardation. The presence of dystonia may affect motor function, pain, and ease of care in CP. Additionally, it can cause serious difficulties in daily living activities and social participation and long-term joint deformity. The increase in the severity of dystonia in CP children with secondary dystonia may affect the quality of life, activity and participation of the children, as well as the caregiver. The importance of caregivers is an undeniable fact, especially in these patient groups. This study aims to investigate the burden of dystonia severity on the participation in daily living activities and caregivers of children with CP with secondary dystonia.
The primary objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the safety of ExAblate Transcranial MRgFUS as a tool for creating bilateral or unilateral lesions in the globus pallidus (GPi) in patients with treatment-refractory secondary dystonia due to dyskinetic cerebral palsy
The purpose of this international study is to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of Abbott deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems for all indications, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or other disabling tremor and dystonia.
The disability inflected by dystonia encouraged the development of many neurosurgical procedures. This is a prospective study included 120 patients suffering from intractable secondary dystonia. They were subjected to different neurosurgical treatments and were assessed through the follow up period
