Botulinum Toxin Treatment in Clinical Medicine

Abstract

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) is an effective therapy for multiple neurological conditions. Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism are neurodegenerative conditions in which BoNT has emerged as a therapeutic option for many symptoms, especially when other medical therapies have failed to provide satisfactory relief. BoNT is helpful in the management of blepharospasm, bruxism, camptocormia, cervical dystonia including anterocollis, sialorrhea, seborrhea, and overactive bladder. BoNT is a safe and effective therapy for this patient population when administered by skilled physicians.
