Effect of Type-A Botulinum Toxin in the Post-radiosurgical Neck Contractures

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Cervical Spasm
Radiotherapy Side Effect
Botulinum Toxin
Interventions
Procedure: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02986880
Lead Sponsor
Hopital Foch
Brief Summary

The main objective of the study is to estimate the efficiency and to determine the optimal dose of Botulinum toxin A, administered by intramuscular way in cervical spasms after radiotherapy, as well as the optimal sites for these injections.

The concerned muscular groups are the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), the trapezius muscle and the splenius capitis.
