English Abstract
Journal Article
[Current indications for the treatment with botulin toxin].
Revue Médicale de la Suisse Romande 2001 June
Botulinum toxin is more and more frequently used as a therapeutic agent. The toxin blocks selectively and reversibly the neuromuscular junction, causing a muscle relaxation. Indications are mainly muscular hypercontraction, such as dystonia, blepharospasm, focal spasticity, strabismus or tics. The range of action extend to focal hyperhydrosis, palmar, axillary or plantar. It seems now that some painful syndrome such as migraine or tension headache may benefit from toxin injections. Esthetic indications constitute an extension to the pure medical indications.
