Botulinum toxin and occupational therapy for Writer's Cramp.

CONCLUSIONS: Improvement of the primary outcome measure, the patient-rated subjective scale, was not achieved. However, significant improvement was found in the BoNT & occupational therapy group in a secondary measure of impairment. Our hypothesis-driven study results are likely limited by small sample size, and further large-scale studies of occupational therapy methods to improve the efficacy of BoNT seems worthwhile.
