Evaluation of the Effect of Botulinum Toxin on Resting Tremor of the Refractory Upper Limb in Parkinsonians, Cross-over Study, Double Blind and Placebo-controlled (TOX PARK)

10 september 2026 bijgewerkt door: University Hospital, Toulouse
Tremor is one of the most common symptoms in Parkinson Disease (PD), affecting almost 60% of patients. There is currently no specific treatment for tremor in PD, and 30% of patients develop drug-resistant tremor, making its management more complex. Botulinum toxin (BT) is widely used in neurology, but few studies have been carried out on the effect of BT in parkinsonian tremor without consensus on its management in parkinsonian patients. In this study, we therefore propose to evaluate the effect of BT injected using precision medicine in the treatment of refractory resting tremor in patients with PD, compared with placebo injection.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Tremor is one of the most common symptoms, affecting almost 60% of patients. It has a considerable impact on their quality of life, causing psychosocial stress in over 25% of patients. There is currently no specific treatment for tremor in PD, and 30% of patients develop drug-resistant tremor, making its management more complex. Botulinum toxin (BT) has been approved in France in 1994 and is widely used in neurology. To date, few studies have been carried out on the effect of BT in parkinsonian tremor: most have been open-label and have mixed parkinsonian patients and patients with essential tremor. Therefore, there is no consensus on the management of tremor in patients with PD. Nevertheless, there is a real need for treatment of refractory tremor, particularly in elderly patients, patients who cannot tolerate high doses of medication or patients who are ineligible for neurostimulation. In this study, we therefore propose to evaluate the effect of BT injected using precision medicine in the treatment of refractory resting tremor in parkinsonian patients, compared with placebo injection. We hypothesize that BT treatment improves parkinsonian tremor in a clinically relevant way compared to placebo injection using an optimized and personalized injection technique (doses of toxin and muscles injected). The drug will be injected intramuscularly into the muscles identified as responsible for the tremor, by an investigator specialising in injections. PD patients with resistant tremor will be included and followed up in this study for one year. BT or placebo will be injected at 6 months apart in all patients thanks to the cross over study design.

Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: Botulinum toxin followed by placebo arm
In this cross-over study, the patient will be his or her own control. The patient will receive both treatments at 6 months apart: DYSPORT followed by the placebo (the order of injections has been randomly assigned).
Geneesmiddel: Injection of Dysport then placebo
Both treatments, first DYSPORT 500UI for 6 months then placebo, also for 6 months, will be administered intramuscularly using the same schedule and procedures thus allowing the blind to be maintained. The two injections will be carried at 6 months apart: the drug will be injected intramuscularly, into the muscles identified as responsible for the tremor, by an investigator specialized in carrying out injections. The doses injected will depend on the severity of the tremor and the number of muscles injected, which is conditioned by the tremor phenotype.
