Ultrasound-Guided botox: a sharper shot for stiff necks?
NCT ID NCT07233993
First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study compares two ways of giving Botox injections for cervical dystonia, a condition that causes painful neck muscle spasms. One method uses ultrasound to see the muscles, the other relies on touch and body landmarks. About 100 adults will receive both types of injections at different times to see which improves quality of life more. The goal is to find out if using ultrasound makes the treatment safer and more effective.
