Botulinum toxin use in patients with post-stroke spasticity: a nationwide retrospective study from France
ConclusionOur analysis of the exhaustive PMSI database showed a suboptimal implementation of BoNT-A treatment recommendations in France. BoNT-A treatment initiation and re-administration are low, particularly in patients with post-stroke spasticity. Further investigations may help explain this observation, and may target specific actions to improve spasticity-related care pathway. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Objective Tinnitus of Nasopharyngeal Origin
We report a rare case of objective tinnitus induced by nasopharyngeal muscle constriction. A 49-year-old female patient presented at the clinic with unintentional sounds coming from the nasal cavity while talking or swallowing, which were similar to the lip-smacking sound. Physical examination revealed a hypertrophic posterior nasopharyngeal wall and torus tubarius at rest. With voluntary effort, the posterior pharyngeal wall protruded prominently and collided with the torus tubarius on either side, generating a sound when they were separated. Botox injection was recommended but the patient refused. The diagnosis and treat...

Prolonged Antipruritic Effect of Botulinum Toxin Type A on Cowhage-induced Itch: A Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial
In conclusion, botulinum toxin type A reduced cowhage itch for at least 3 months, which suggests that botulinum toxin type A is a potential long-lasting treatment for localized, non-histaminergic itch.PMID:37584094 | DOI:10.2340/actadv.v103.6581 (Source: Acta Dermato-Venereologica)

Auxiliary rehabilitation training after calf contouring with botulinum toxin type A injection reduces adverse reactions and improves satisfaction
CONCLUSIONS: BTX-A injection is effective in calf contouring and can significantly reduce the MCC and GMT. In addition, post-injection rehabilitation training can significantly reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions and improve patient satisfaction.PMID:37560233 | PMC:PMC10408528 (Source: American Journal of Translational Research)
