Zinc supplements with botox injections for jaw muscle size
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking zinc supplements can make botox injections more effective for reducing jaw muscle size. Botox is injected into the jaw muscle to relax it, and zinc might help the botox work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
