It's not open to individuals under 18 or those with certain neurological conditions like ALS, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or essential tremor.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?

The goal is to see if this new treatment can improve voice quality longer than current options like onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, botulinum toxin injections can generally cause side effects such as pain at the injection site, flu-like symptoms, headache, respiratory infection, temporary voice weakness or breathiness.
