Synkinesis
Botox Injections in Non-Cranial Nerve VII Innervated Muscles for Facial Synkinesis
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.

Congenital Fibrosis of Extraocular Muscles, Duane Retraction Syndrome
Genetic Studies of Strabismus, Congenital Cranial Dysinnervation Disorders (CCDDs), and Their Associated Anomalies
The purpose of this study is to identify genes associated with impaired development and function of the cranial nerves and brainstem, which may result in misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) and related conditions.
- Conditions
- Congenital Fibrosis of Extraocular Muscles, Duane Retraction Syndrome, Duane Radial Ray Syndrome, Mobius Syndrome
- Trial name
- NCT03059420
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 20,000 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor
- Boston Children's Hospital
Blepharoptosis, Synkinesis
Oxymetazoline Drops for Acquired Blepharoptosis From Synkinesis
After an episode of facial paralysis, as nerves recover, they aberrantly regenerate and send additional branches to the incorrect muscles in addition to the intended muscle.
