Dysport injections for task-specific hand tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether injections of botulinum toxin (Dysport) can help people whose hand tremor only happens when they try to do specific tasks, like pouring a drink or eating. If you qualify, you would receive injections and be monitored to see if your tremor improves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have hand or arm tremor that only shows up during specific tasks, like pouring, eating, pointing, using a computer mouse, or playing a string instrument.
- You are on a stable dose of any tremor medication (same dose for at least one month before the study and willing to keep it that way).
- If you had botulinum toxin (Botox) in the past, it must have been at least 12 weeks before joining.
- You are generally healthy enough to receive botulinum toxin injections, without unstable medical or psychiatric conditions.
- If you are a woman who can become pregnant, you must not be pregnant and must agree to use reliable birth control for the study duration.
- You are not currently taking lithium, valproic acid, amiodarone, or any typical or atypical antipsychotic medications.

This trial tests an investigational botulinum toxin injection (AGN-151607-DP) to reduce shaking in the hands and arms caused by essential tremor. It is for adults who have been diagnosed with this condition and who do not have certain nerve or muscle disorders.
This trial tests whether botulinum toxin type A injections can reduce shaking (tremor) in the hand or arm that does not improve with standard Parkinson's medications. It aims to see if this treatment can provide relief for people with difficult-to-control tremor.
This study tests botulinum toxin (a medication that relaxes muscles) to treat various involuntary movements like tremors, muscle spasms, or uncontrolled facial movements. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
This trial is testing whether a device that gently stimulates the nerves in your arm (called non-invasive neuromodulation) can safely reduce hand tremors over a long period. It might help with activities like eating, writing, or dressing.
This trial tests incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) injections to reduce focal hand dystonia—unwanted muscle tightening in the hand. You may be able to join whether you’ve had this condition before or have tried similar injections in the past, as long as certain safety rules are met.
This trial tests whether IPN10200, a Botox-like treatment, is safe and helps reduce stiff, tight upper-arm muscles caused by spasticity after stroke or brain injury. You may be able to join if you meet specific timing, prior-treatment, and muscle-stiffness measurements.
