Clinical Trials Kristina Simonyan, MD, PhD is currently running
Sensory Block + Brain Imaging
for Spasmodic Dysphonia
The researchers will examine functional neural correlates that differentiate between laryngeal dystonia and voice tremor and contribute to disorder-specific pathophysiology using a cross-disciplinary approach of multimodal brain imaging.

Imaging Genetics
for Spasmodic Dysphonia
The contribution of genetic risk factors to the development of focal dystonias is evident. However, understanding of how variations in the causative gene expression lead to variations in brain abnormalities in different phenotypes of dystonia (e.g., familial, sporadic) remains limited. The research program of the investigators is set to determine the relationship between brain changes and genetic risk factors in laryngeal dystonia (or spasmodic dysphonia). The researchers use a novel approach of combined imaging genetics, next-generation DNA sequencing, and clinical-behavioral testing. The use of a cross-disciplinary approach as a tool for the discovery of the mediating neural mechanisms that bridge the gap from DNA sequence to the pathophysiology of dystonia holds a promise for the understanding of the mechanistic aspects of brain function affected by risk gene variants, which can be used reliably for the discovery of associated genes and neural integrity markers for this disorder. The expected outcome of this study may lead to better clinical management of this disorder, including its improved detection, accurate diagnosis, and assessment of the risk of developing dystonia in family members.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the ‘trial drug’ — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
What does Kristina Simonyan, MD, PhD specialize in?
Kristina Simonyan, MD, PhD focuses on Dysphonia and Spasmodic Dysphonia. In particular, much of their work with Dysphonia has involved treating patients, or patients who are undergoing treatment.
Is Kristina Simonyan, MD, PhD currently recruiting for clinical trials?
Yes, Kristina Simonyan, MD, PhD is currently recruiting for 6 clinical trials in Boston Massachusetts. If you're interested in participating, you should apply.
Are there any treatments that Kristina Simonyan, MD, PhD has studied deeply?
Yes, Kristina Simonyan, MD, PhD has studied treatments such as Neurofeedback Brain-Computer Interface, DystoniaNet, Blood draw.
