Botulinum therapy for neurological diseases
This is a treatment method based on the injection of botulinum toxin type A into certain muscles to temporarily block nerve impulses, reduce muscle spasms and relieve pain.
When botulinum toxin is injected into spastic (tense) muscles, it blocks the transmission of nerve signals and causes them to relax. This helps to improve the quality of life of patients who have suffered a stroke, spinal cord injury, suffering from multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
Botulinum therapy is also used to treat migraines and chronic tension headaches. The drug blocks the release of chemicals associated with the occurrence of migraines, reducing the frequency and intensity of headache attacks. About 70% of patients report improvement after the first procedure. Botulinum therapy is also used to treat seizures, dystonia and tremor, bruxism and blepharospasm. The administration of botulinum toxin helps to reduce the activity of the muscles that cause the symptoms of these conditions, improving the well-being of patients.
Before botulinum therapy, it is necessary to consult with a neurologist to determine the indications for the procedure. To carry out general blood tests and other necessary studies. If necessary, undergo additional examinations (MRI, ultrasound).
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and lasts about 10-30 minutes. The doctor determines the points of administration of botulinum toxin depending on the patient's condition and the goals of treatment. After determining the injection points, the doctor injects botulinum toxin with a thin needle. The number of injections and the dosage of the drug depend on the severity and localization of the neurological condition.
Thin needles for injection. Botulinum toxin type A preparation (for example, Botox, Dysport).
After the procedure, the patient can return to normal life almost immediately. It is recommended to avoid intense physical exertion and massage in the injection area during the first 24 hours. The effects of botulinum therapy begin to manifest themselves after a few days and can last from several months to six months.
