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.

Conditions

  • Focal Dystonia

Interventions

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Applied to the premotor cortex at 1 Hz at 90% resting motor threshold for 1200 pulses.

BEHAVIORAL

Sensorimotor Retraining

For sensorimotor retraining, a subset of the Learning-based Sensorimotor Training program was followed

BEHAVIORAL

Non-specific Therapy

A non-specific massage and stretching program directed to the hand, wrist and forearm
