NCT ID NCT05327985

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study looked at how a small neck muscle called the obliquus capitis inferior (OCI) affects head turning in people with cervical dystonia, a condition causing abnormal head postures. Researchers used special 3D CT scans to measure muscle function before and after botulinum toxin injections. The goal was to better understand the muscle's role, not to test a new treatment. The study included 21 adults with rotational cervical dystonia.
