BoTox Into the Sternocleidomastoid Muscles (SCM)
NCT06903975 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Botulinum toxin injections have been used both in the face and neck for many years. However, injection into the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) has only been done to treat neck spasms. In this study botulinum toxin will be injected into the SCM to determine if this will result in a temporary slimming effect on the neck and produce a more feminine, youthful neck contour.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06903975
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06903975 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 4, 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 30 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Boston Medical Center, which has 192 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 Neck Muscle Issue appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs 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: NCT06903975 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. 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.
