Ultrasound-guided vs. standard Botox injections for cervical dystonia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, 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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 different brain stimulation targets to treat cervical dystonia (painful neck muscle contractions). It may help people whose symptoms are no longer controlled by neck medicine or botulinum toxin shots.
