Summary

This study tests whether taking zinc supplements daily can make Botox injections last longer for people with cervical dystonia, a condition causing painful neck muscle spasms. About 20 adults will receive either zinc or a placebo for 3 months, then switch, while getting regular Botox treatments. Researchers will measure how long symptom relief lasts and check for any side effects.
