Abstract

The treatment of diseases associated with spasticity and focal dystonia with injection of Botulinum Neurotoxin A is well established. During the past years, Botulinum Neurotoxin A was licensed in Germany for treatment of lower limb post-stroke spasticity and for upper limb spasticity of any etiological origin. Hence, the therapeutic possibilities with Botulinum Neurotoxin A have increased. In this study, new pathoanatomical concepts in the treatment of smaller or deeper located muscles in cervical dystonia will be discussed. Further aspects relevant for treatment such as high-dose therapy will be presented.
