Botulinum toxin and its effects - A study on patient population to know conditions to which it is frequently applied An observational cohort study.

Introduction Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin and the biologic product of the actions of anaerobic bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. The toxin is one of the deadly poisons. It is an extremely potent neuromuscular blocking agent when injected into the motor point. It is approved by FDA for the treatment of strabismus, blepharospasm , facial and cervical dystonia13 but these days, Botox serves more purposes than only treating facial wrinkles and fine lines. It’s also used to treat a variety of problems with other body parts, such as the foot. Patients can treat common issues like foot discomfort and excessive sweating with Botox injections. This technique is popular since it is comparatively quick, straightforward, and requires little downtime. Botox for foot pain may be an option to consider if you have a history of foot pain from bunions and edema. By lessening the activity of the nerve that transmits pain signals to the brain, it reduces discomfort. Botox for feet can also lessen sensitivity, which lessens pain and discomfort.

The toxin efficiently lowers the amount of sweat generated by blocking the chemical impulses that activate these sweat glands. Overall, you can improve your quality of life, keep dry, and receive long-lasting comfort from this injection.

This allows you to enjoy the summer, wear your beautiful shoes, and exercise without having to worry about having sweaty feet. Patients with plantar fasciitis may become completely disabled. However, new research has indicated that Botox for Plantar Fasciitis is a successful treatment for the ailment. It relieves pain by relaxing the painful tendons and muscles of the foot. The tension and irritation lessen when these muscles unwind. Patients have less cramping and pain reduction as a result. Van Kuijk et al. 12Studied in 2002 reported that botulinum toxin treatment in post stroke spasticity was effective in reducing muscle tone and in improvement of joint range as also in our study we find similar findings as some participants having the similar condition. We studied these patients coming to our PMR OPD to understand which disorder is commoner amongst.
