An Open Label Evaluation of MIDI to Quantify Performance Change in Subjects With Musician's Dystonia After Treatment With Botulinum Toxin Type B (Myobloc ®).
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Botulinum toxin, type B for Focal Dystonia. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study uses a computerized method of musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) quantification of performance before and after treatment with botulinum toxin type B (Myobloc ®, Solstice Neurosciences). Myobloc is a purified and diluted form of botulinum toxin used medically to relax unwanted muscle spasms and movements. The aim of the study is to determine the feasibility of quantifying change in performance following treatment.
