Trial Outcomes & Findings for Compare Two Guidance Techniques for Botulinum Toxin Injections for the Treatment of Limb Spasticity and Focal Dystonia (NCT NCT02334683)

NCT ID: NCT02334683

Last Updated: 2021-11-26

Results Overview

clinical or patient self-rating form for grading evaluation of the treatment at 16 weeks as compared to at 4 weeks. Full scale from 0 = no improvement and 100 normal use. Higher score indicates better health outcome.

Electrophysiologic guidance, using electrical stimulation Electrical stimulation: The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of two ways of locating the muscle for botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection for the treatment of focal hand dystonia and upper limb spasticity located by either electrical stimulation using a needle or ultrasound using sound waves. Ultrasound guidance,using sound waves through a wand directed towards the targeted muscles. Ultrasound: The purpose of this study is to compare how the muscle is located by either electrical stimulation using a needle or ultrasound using sound waves.
