Botulinum toxin for eye misalignment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a safe, purified protein (botulinum toxin) can help straighten eyes that are misaligned (esotropia or exotropia). It is for people with small-to-moderate eye turns, including those from nerve issues, thyroid disease, or after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a small-to-moderate inward or outward eye turn (less than 40 units).
- Your eye turn started suddenly, or is leftover from surgery, or comes from a nerve issue.
- You do not have a serious nerve or muscle disease like ALS or myasthenia gravis.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how the width of a specific eye muscle affects the amount of surgery needed to correct inward-turning eyes (esotropia). It may help doctors better predict surgical results.
This trial tests if doing eye exercises in front of a mirror can improve control of intermittent exotropia (a type of outward eye turn) in children who had strabismus surgery six months ago.
This study looks at risks and results of a second (or more) surgery to fix horizontal eye misalignment (strabismus) that came back or wasn't fully fixed the first time. It may help if you or your child have already had eye muscle surgery and need another one.
This study looks at how strabismus (misaligned eyes) affects balance before and after surgery. It may help patients understand if their eye condition influences their stability.
This trial tests if special spectacle lenses (Highly Aspherical Lenslet) can control nearsightedness better than a binocular vision therapy in children with myopia and eye alignment problems (strabismus or phoria). It compares two non-invasive approaches and may help slow down worsening vision.
This trial compares a toxin injection (Botulinum Toxin A) to traditional eye muscle surgery for children with certain types of esotropia (crossed eyes). It aims to see which treatment works better for angles between 10 and 30 prism diopters.
