Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to study the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (Xeomin®) injected utilizing kinematically-based injection parameters for the treatment of upper extremity essential tremor (ET). Additional objectives are to study the benefit of kinematic assessment tools in determining injection parameters and to study the composition of tremor using kinematics.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Essential tremor treatment

A serotype of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) that has specificity for cleavage of SYNAPTOSOMAL-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN 25 (SNAP-25). BoNT-A's pharmacological action is to inhibit the release of acetylcholine from the neuromuscular junction.

Participants will be treated by BoNT-A injections every 12 weeks over 72 weeks. BoNT-A parameters will be determined solely by biomechanical analysis of tremulous movements in both upper extremity BoNT-A dose will range from 50-300 U per arm
