Experimental: Dysport
250-1000 units
|
Biological: Botulinum toxin type A
In this long-term extension study, a dose of 500 units Dysport was administered by intramuscular injection into the clinically indicated neck muscles in a single dosing session in the first treatment cycle. This was the same dose as given in the preceding study NCT00257660 (Y-47-52120-051). Based on individual safety & efficacy, subjects could then receive up to 3 subsequent injections with doses titrated in 250 unit steps, to a minimum of 250 units and a maximum of 1000 units. Retreatment occurred approximately 12-16 weeks after the previous injection, with the exact timing based on clinical need.

- Change in Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale Total Score From Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 4 follow-up visit ]TWSTRS is comprised of three different components which are severity, disability & pain. There is an ordinal scale for each component and the score range for each is the following: for severity from 0 (absence of severity) to 35 (max severity), for disability from 0 (no disability) to 30 (max disability) and for pain from 0 (no pain) to 20 (max pain). TWSTRS total score is the sum of the 3 component scores, with a range from 0 to a maximum of 85. For each treatment cycle, the change in TWSTRS total score is the score at week 4 minus the score at baseline.
- Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale Severity Subscale as a Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 4 follow-up visit ]TWSTRS is comprised of three different components which are severity, disability & pain. There is an ordinal scale for each component and the score range for severity is from 0 (absence of severity) to 35 (max severity). For each treatment cycle, the change in TWSTRS severity subscale is the score at week 4 minus the score at baseline.
- Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale Disability Subscale Score as a Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 4 follow-up visit ]TWSTRS is comprised of three different components which are severity, disability & pain. There is an ordinal scale for each component and the score range for disability is from 0 (no disability) to 30 (max disability). For each treatment cycle, the change in TWSTRS disability subscale is the score at week 4 minus the score at baseline.
- Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale Pain Subscale Score as a Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 4 follow-up visit ]TWSTRS is comprised of three different components which are severity, disability & pain. There is an ordinal scale for each component and the score range for pain is from 0 (no pain) to 20 (max pain). For each treatment cycle, the change in TWSTRS pain subscale is the score at week 4 minus the score at baseline.
