      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: A box containing 35 concealed envelopes is selected. In the 25 envelopes paper for group A  and inside the other 10 envelopes, paper for group B is placed. This box is located in front of the patients and an envelope is chosen by each patient. Thus, the patient is completely unaware of group typing and randomly assigned to group A (case) or group B (control). The patient's name is recorded in the list of 25 patients in the case group or 10 patients in the control group.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: injection of diluted Botulinum toxin in the affected hand muscles in addition to Parkinson's routine oral medicine.According to studies conducted so far, 7 muscles from 14 common muscles have been injected in more than 80% of patients, including Flexor Carpi Radialis (FCR), Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (FCU), Pronator Tres, Pronator Quadratous, Extensor Caripi Radialis Longus (ECRL) and Extensor Carpi Ulnaris (ECU) and Supinator. The injectable dose is selected for each muscle depending on the moderate and standard deviation of previous successful efforts (15 ± 5 units of botulinum toxin). According to available resources and general consensus and prevention of severe weakness, to each specified  muscles of the forearm flexor, 20 units of Botulinum toxin are injected and to each prescribed muscles of the forearm extensor should be injected 10 to 15 units of Botulinum toxin. Intervention 2: Control group: 10 people in the control group received only Parkinson’s routine oral  medication.</i_freetext>
