Studying botulinum toxin for arm tremor in dystonia
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether botulinum toxin (Botox) injections can help reduce arm tremors in people with dystonia. Researchers hope to understand which patients benefit most.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a type of tremor caused by dystonia (a movement disorder that causes muscles to contract)
- You have shaking in one or both arms
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have not had botulinum toxin (Botox) injections in the arm you want treated for 4 or more sessions, or if you had 1–3 sessions, the last one was more than 6 months ago
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant

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 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 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 injectable medication (Eveotox) to see if it can safely reduce arm or hand stiffness in people who have had a stroke. The goal is to improve daily activities like dressing or cleaning your hand.
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 new botulinum toxin injection (YY001) for adults whose arm muscles are tight or stiff after a stroke. It looks at whether repeated treatments help with daily activities like washing and dressing.
