This is the first study to use a fully standardized treatment algorithm for personalization of BoNT-A injection patterns for disabling PD tremor over serial treatments. A sustained alleviation of tremor severity and improved arm function and quality of life fulfills an important unmet need for the treatment of PD tremor. This study demonstrated that BoNT-A can be administered as a monotherapy in tremor-dominant PD or as an add-on therapy for refractory PD tremor.
