BOTOX shots aim to steady shaking hands

NCT ID NCT05216250

Completed Symptom relief Sponsor: AbbVie Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested whether BOTOX injections could safely reduce shaking in the hands of people with essential tremor, a condition that makes daily tasks like writing and eating difficult. About 174 adults received either BOTOX or placebo injections in their arm muscles over several months. Researchers measured changes in tremor severity and how well participants could perform everyday activities.
