Putting Greater Flexibility in Reach
For people with cervical dystonia, a neurological disorder that causes abnormal muscle contractions and head position, the sense of normalcy that supports a fulfilling life is often replaced by pain and anxiety.
At Motric Bio, we’re dedicated to alleviating the limitations that dystonia can have on a patient’s everyday life. Our efforts are directed at developing a novel oral therapeutic option for the treatment of cervical dystonia.
Addressing the Whole Patient Journey
By applying novel science to bring forward a new oral therapeutic option for cervical dystonia, we believe we can profoundly improve the patient journey for a disorder that also impacts quality of life.
Elevating the Standard of Care
Motric Bio is focused on advancing scientific innovation to transform the treatment of cervical dystonia and relieve the burden of this condition on everyday life.
The important work we are pursuing is taking place against a backdrop of a standard of care that is insufficient in addressing patients’ needs.
We’re aiming to deliver a more flexible therapeutic approach to cervical dystonia through a novel oral treatment that directly targets fast twitch skeletal muscle to deliver muscle relaxation without cardiac or nervous system side effects.
Movement Disorder with Multiple Sub-Types
Dystonia is the third most common movement disorder. It affects people of all ages, ethnicities and races. Women are three times more likely than men to experience dystonia. Cervical dystonia, also known as torticollis, is among the many disease subtypes and is the most common focal dystonia, which is a type of dystonia that affects one part of the body (the neck).
