Targeting Methods of Botulinum Toxin Injections for Cervical Dystonia

NCT03946046 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 132

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Botulinum toxin injections are the treatment of choice for cervical dystonia. Even if this treatment is successful for most of the patients, partials or completes failures still remained.

Usually, botulinum toxin injections are realized by clinical localization techniques (observation and palpation of target muscles). The use of Ultrasonography to guide injections of Botulinum toxin has theoretical benefits (as an improved precision, an improved reproducibility, the targeting of deep-seated muscles, and a lower risk of adverse events) but its interest has never been demonstrated.

Conditions

  • Idiopathic Cervical Dystonia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Clinical targeting

The intervention consists of the injection of botulinum toxin A into muscles targeted by a clinical localization method (observation and palpation of target muscles)

PROCEDURE

Ultrasonography targeting

The intervention consists of the injection of botulinum toxin A into muscles by ultrason-guided method
