What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Dose of Botulinum Toxin Used to Treat Cervical Dystonia

    The average dose of botulinum toxin received per patient per year was calculated.

    Time frame: 2 Years

  2. Dose of Botulinum Toxin Used to Treat Blepharospasm

    The average dose of botulinum toxin received per patient per year was calculated.

    Time frame: 2 Years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    An Adverse Event was any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease documented in the medical chart that occurred after treatment with botulinum toxin, or pre-existing conditions that worsened during the retrospective period.

    Time frame: 2 Years

  2. Botulinum Toxin Inter-injection Interval

    Injection-interval was the time in weeks between injections of botulinum toxin.

    Time frame: 2 Years

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of Jan 2013, a primary completion of Jul 2013 and a completion of Jul 2013. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Jul 2014, 1 year after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 3, 2014, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
