To characterize the time course of intramuscular botulinum toxininduced paresis, we serially performed electrophysiological measurements and recorded the sonographic size of an extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle in 10 human subjects before and after injecting the EDB with 10 units of botulinum-A
## Abstract In some patients, therapy with botulinum toxin type A (BTโA) becomes ineffective due to formation of antibodies (BTโAโAB). The time course of BTโAโAB titres after cessation of BTโA therapy was quantitatively studied to determine whether and when they might drop. Thirteen patients (eight
No convincing evidence exists that botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) injected intramuscularly at therapeutic doses in humans acts directly on central nervous system (CNS) structures. Nevertheless, several studies, using various approaches, strongly suggest that BT-A affects the functional organization o
