Botulinum therapy is a method of treating various diseases manifested by muscle spasm, pain and autonomic dysfunction using botulinum toxin (botulinum toxin, popularly called "botox").

Botulinum toxin has been used in the treatment of neurological disorders for more than 20 years, and during this time it has established itself as an effective and safe remedy in practice.

The safety of botulinum toxin for the body.
Botulinum toxin is used today in more than 60 countries around the world. The registration of this drug was preceded by numerous clinical trials that confirmed its effectiveness and safety. In terms of human health consequences, botulinum toxin injections are much less harmful than most tablets. Reactions to botulinum toxin are transient local in nature, and tablets used for similar indications negatively affect the liver and kidneys.

The practice of botulinum therapy in neurology and cosmetology has existed for more than one decade. During this time, millions of people around the world have received treatment. This is enough for not only immediate, but also delayed consequences to become known. Those have not been identified to this day.

Therefore, we can say with confidence that of all the drugs used for the treatment of dystonia and spasticity, botulinum toxin preparations implement the main principle - do no harm to the patient.

There are officially registered indications for botulinum therapy in neurology.

Its use is a new approach both in the treatment of various disorders of the nervous system and in prevention, taking into account significant positive facts:
good treatment tolerance,
security,
no systemic side effects
long duration of action.
Depending on the disease, the effect begins to manifest itself within 2-3 days after the administration of the drug and reaches a peak after 7-12 days. The duration of the effect is from 3 months to 6-8 months, sometimes years. It is important that more than 90% of patients report satisfaction with the result.

Botulinum therapy in neurology is widely used in the following areas:
Focal dystonia and other movement disorders:
hemifacial spasm (involuntary contraction of facial muscles)
spasticity of the upper and lower extremities (after brain injury),
blepharospasm (involuntary contraction of the circular muscle of the eye),
cervical dystonia (spastic torticollis)
movement disorders caused by multiple sclerosis
bruxism (hypertonicity of the masticatory muscles)
Vegetative disorders:
hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating (head, palms, feet, axillary, groin)
Pain syndromes:
  • myofascial and muscle-tonic syndromes (cervicothoracic and lumbosacral spine)
  • neuropathic pain (diabetic polyneuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, etc.)

     
  • pain in "whiplash" injuries,
  • chronic tension headache
  • chronic migraine
Tics (single muscle twitching)
Different types of tremors (tremors) of the head

The procedures are carried out by a certified specialist neurologist of the Medical and Recreation Center "Marusich" in Krivoy Rog.

The preparation of drugs takes place if indicated, under the control of ultrasound. The dosage of the drug and the points for its administration are determined individually, depending on the diagnosis and localization of the disorders.
