Botox injections could replace surgery for kids with crossed eyes
NCT ID NCT07470164
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares Botox injections to standard surgery for treating childhood esotropia (crossed eyes) in 244 children. The goal is to see if Botox, a less invasive option, works as well as surgery to straighten the eyes. If successful, it could reduce risks from surgery and anesthesia and make treatment more accessible.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Botulinum toxin A (Botox)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive, safer, and cheaper alternative to surgery for treating crossed eyes in children.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but it hasn't started recruiting yet. Botox may not work as well as surgery, and some children may still need additional treatment.
