Brief Summary

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

if amifampridine can improve neuromuscular transmission in muscles previously injected with OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Amifampridine may also be effective in treating the sequelae of botulinum toxin injections and this study will determine if neuromuscular transmission as measured by single fiber electromyography is improved in patients treated with BTX-A following administration of amifampridine

Study Groups

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

Amifampridine will be orally administered to study participants

Amifampridine will be orally administered to study participants following completion of the baseline SFEMG. Post-dose SFEMG will commence at 30 minutes following dosing and will be completed within 30 minutes. The participant will remain under observation in the Diagnostic Neurology suite for 2 hours after dosing so it is estimated that the entire protocol including monitoring will be completed within 2-3 hours.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
