Experiences on The Administration of Botulinum Toxin in Movement Disorders

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Botulinum toxin injection has been used for many years for various indications such as cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, oromandibular dystonia, hemifacial spasm in neurology. Botulinum toxin injections have been made in our clinic for about ten years. We want to report ou...

description BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Botulinum toxin injection has been used for many years for various indications such as cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, oromandibular dystonia, hemifacial spasm in neurology. Botulinum toxin injections have been made in our clinic for about ten years. We want to report our experiences about botulinum toxin treatment in neurologic disease. METHODS: In this study, the data of the patients receiving BoNT injection between January 2018 and December 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, botulinum toxin indications, and mean dose, duration of efficacy, side effects noted for each injection were recorded. RESULTS: There were 122 patients who received botulinum toxin injections between January 2018 and December 2019. Of the 122 patients identified, 28 had cervical dystonia, 61 had HFS, 21 had blepharospasm, 4 had generalized dystonia, 1 had hemidystonia following thalamic bleeding, 1 had tardive dystonia, 4 had migraine, 1 had bruxism and 1 had both migraine and bruxism. CONCLUSION: BoNT injection is a treatment that has been used for various indications in neurology for almost 40 years. Side effects are limited and temporary with appropriate injections. We also had a wide range of indication profiles and high numbers of patients to whom we administered the BoNT treatment.
