rTMS and Botulinum Toxin in Benign Essential Blepharospasm

NCT02370875 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) is a functionally disabling focal dystonia. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) therapy is suboptimal in many BEB patients. Repetitious transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) therapy is a promising noninvasive therapy and has shown positive benefits in BEB. rTMS therapy can be easily combined with BoNT injections to enhance the effects of BoNT in BEB.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02370875

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02370875 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 12 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Florida, which has 1,066 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Benign Essential Blepharospasm appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Magstim RapidStim2 is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02370875 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
