Exercise program for cervical dystonia treated with botulinum toxin
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help people with cervical dystonia (involuntary neck muscle tightening) who are already being treated with botulinum toxin type A. It may help improve how you move and function, alongside your usual injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You can and will sign the consent form to join the study
- A neurologist has diagnosed you with cervical dystonia
- You received botulinum toxin type A injections for cervical dystonia at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine Neurology clinic
- You have no health problems that would stop you from safely doing the exercises (like serious heart, whole-body, or bone/joint issues)
- You do not have dementia or a significant psychiatric condition that would make it hard to follow the program; you also must be able to watch the exercise videos on your phone or other device

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests how a structured exercise program affects the brain and body changes behind focal cervical dystonia (a movement disorder that causes abnormal neck postures). It may help people who are still having symptoms despite best-available treatments like botulinum toxin injections or medicines.
This study tests whether combining physiotherapy with Botox injections can improve neck control in people with cervical dystonia. It also looks at how 'sensory tricks' (like touching your face) help the brain control symptoms, using brain scans to understand why.
This trial compares using ultrasound to guide Botox injections versus the usual method without ultrasound, to see if it improves outcomes for people with cervical dystonia.
This trial tests a new botulinum toxin medication (IPN10200) for adults with cervical dystonia, a condition that causes painful muscle spasms in the neck and shoulders. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective in reducing symptoms.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called TMS to see if it can improve neck muscle spasms in people with cervical dystonia. It's for adults who haven't had Botox recently and are not on other treatments.
This study looks at what happens when botulinum toxin effects wear off quickly in people with cervical dystonia (neck muscle spasms). It aims to improve treatment timing.
