Ultrasound-guided vs. standard Botox injections for cervical dystonia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic cervical dystonia (not caused by another condition)
- You have been on stable doses of any other medications for dystonia for at least 3 months
- You have had Botox injections for cervical dystonia before and they worked well for you
- It has been at least 4 months since your last Botox injection

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 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 type of ultrasound treatment for cervical dystonia (neck muscle spasms). It uses focused sound waves to target the brain areas causing the condition, and aims to see if it can reduce symptoms without surgery.
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.
This study compares two brain stimulation targets to treat cervical dystonia, a condition causing neck muscle spasms. It aims to help people who haven't gotten relief from medications or botulinum toxin injections.
This study tests if adding a daily pill (valbenazine) to regular botox injections can better reduce neck muscle spasms. It helps people whose botox works but may not be enough.
