U.S., Dec. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07295288) titled 'Botox Injections in Non-Cranial Nerve VII Innervated Muscles for Facial Synkinesis' on Dec. 07.
Brief Summary: Facial synkinesis is a condition that occurs following facial nerve (CN7) injury, typically secondary to Bell's palsy, trauma, surgery (e.g., acoustic neuroma resection), or malignancy. Synkinesis is due to aberrant regeneration of the facial nerve, where axons regrow improperly and result in misdirected innervation of facial muscles. This results in involuntary, uncoordinated muscle movements, where activation of one muscle group triggers unintended contractions in others. Standard treatment of facial synkinesis involves b...
