Curated — the parts a publication feed doesn't show. Last reviewed 2026.
Scroll down through the years. A hand-picked selection of the studies and decisions that moved dystonia research — especially cervical dystonia — from "a mysterious basal-ganglia disorder" toward today's motor-network picture.
Curated, not exhaustive. Every entry links to the source on PubMed so you can check it. Dates are publication dates. Last reviewed September 2026.
For what's happening now, see the Live tracker tab — recent publications and active clinical trials.
Scroll through the motor network. Each part of the brain lights up on the diagram as you reach it, with what it does and how it is implicated in dystonia — especially cervical dystonia.
A schematic left-side "see-through" view, not an anatomical atlas. Curated; key claims link to PubMed. Last reviewed September 2026.
The Timeline & history tab shows how this picture was pieced together; the Live tracker shows current work.
Where dystonia research happens — the clinical-trial sites registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (current and past), plus the academic centres that have driven the field. Trial sites are live; centres are hand-curated. Last reviewed September 2026.
