Botox injection methods for voice tremor treatment
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of injecting Botox to treat essential voice tremor (involuntary shaking of the voice). Researchers want to see which injection method—guided by ultrasound or by nerve signals—works better and is safer for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- A laryngologist (throat specialist) and speech pathologist have diagnosed you with essential voice tremor
- Your doctors believe you are a good candidate for Botox injections for voice tremor
- You can speak and read English well enough to complete study questionnaires
- You do not have severe neurological conditions (like advanced Parkinson's) that would make follow-up visits difficult
- You have not had throat surgery or structural damage that would make tremor assessment unclear

This study tests a behavioral voice therapy approach for people with voice issues caused by muscle tension or benign vocal fold lesions. It aims to improve communication and requires participants to attend sessions and practice with a smartphone.
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 studies a brain stimulation approach for a specific voice disorder that can include tremor. It aims to better understand how well the treatment works and how to use it more effectively while carefully checking safety with awake procedures.
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 studies deep brain stimulation (a surgically placed device that sends electrical signals) to reduce voice tremor or laryngeal dystonia. You may be considered if your symptoms are persistent despite medication and you can complete the study tasks and pre-surgery testing.
This early study uses brain and voice-related testing to better understand what is happening in the brain in people with laryngeal dystonia or voice tremor. The results may help scientists learn more about these conditions and how they differ from healthy voices.
