Botulinum Toxin A in Non-Dystonic Tremors

European Neurology, 2008
The present pilot study evaluated the effect of botulinum toxin A on primarily non-dystonic tremors using accelerometry in a single-blind, placebo-controlled design. Resting, postural, intention, or head tremor were assessed before and approximately 1 month after intramuscular saline and botulinum toxin A (25–50 U) respectively.
