This study tests whether Botox injections can reduce pain and improve quality of life for people with piriformis muscle syndrome (a muscle in the buttock that presses on a nerve, causing pain down the leg). Half of participants will get Botox, half will get a placebo (inactive injection), and the study will see which works better.
This trial tests whether a single injection of botulinum toxin (a muscle-relaxing substance) into the leg can improve blood flow and help heal wounds in people with severe blocked leg arteries who cannot have standard procedures like angioplasty.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether injecting incobotulinumtoxin-A near painful nerves can reduce nerve-type pain in the feet for people with diabetes. If you have lasting, fairly symmetrical pain in both feet, the injections may help calm the nerve pain signals.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) near nerves in the neck can reduce chronic arm or hand pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It aims to see if this treatment can provide longer-lasting pain relief than a standard nerve block.
This study tests whether a specially targeted injection of botulinum toxin (like Botox) around nerves can help reduce pain from CRPS. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and doable for people with long-lasting CRPS.
This study tests a special patch with tiny needles that deliver botulinum toxin (botox) into the skin to treat Raynaud's symptoms in people with scleroderma. It may help reduce pain and improve blood flow in fingers and toes.
