Use of Kinematic Assessment of Hand Tremor Pre- and Post- Treatment With Botulinum Toxin Type A in Essential Tremor and Parkinson Disease
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating BoNT-A for Tremor. Targeting 54 participants.
Detailed Summary
The present study attempts to fill a critical knowledge gap of BoNT A in tremor management by studying the efficacy of IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®) injection for hand tremor in essential tremor and idiopathic Parkinson disease using data regarding composition of tremor obtained through sophisticated, yet clinically accessible multi-sensor based kinematic information.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A serotype of botulinum toxins that has specificity for cleavage of SYNAPTOSOMAL-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN 25 (SNAP-25). BoNT-A's pharmacological action is to inhibit the release of acetylcholine from the neuromuscular junction. BoNT-A peripherally applied using optimal parameters by intramuscular injections to treat tremor in the most bothersome upper extremity every 16 weeks over 96 weeks. The study will be extended for those participants who benefited and will receive treatment every 12 weeks over 96 weeks. BoNT-A dose will range from 50-300 U per arm.
