NCT ID NCT02555982
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether botulinum toxin (Botox) injections can reduce head shaking in people with essential head tremor, a condition that often doesn't respond to standard medicines or surgery. About 120 adults with troublesome head tremor received either Botox or a placebo shot, and researchers measured improvement using a standard rating scale. The goal was to see if Botox could safely ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
