Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the duration of a reduced maximal voluntary bite force after a botulinum toxin intervention. Methods: In an intervention group, 25 units of Xeomin® (Merz Pharma GmbH & Co KGaA, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) botulinum neurotoxin type A were injected into the masseter muscles bilaterally (to a total of 50 units).
Botulinum type A (BTX-A) is an easy and efficacious treatment for gingival smile (GS). However, the necessary for higher-doses among patients are controversial. The objective was to compare the reduction of gingival exposure using two methods in patients with different dosage. In this prospective self-controlled study, healthy GS participates who had an anterior gingival exposure (GE) of more than 3 mm were enrolled and administered with 2-5 U BTX-A (total, 4-10 U) injections into 1-2 points according to the severity presented pretreatment in the Average-dose Method. And after 8 months, the Higher-doses Method was administered the same point injection of 3-10 U BTX-A (total, 6-20 U). Data were collected at baseline and 4, 12, 32 and 60 weeks of follow-up.
Botulinum type A (BTX-A) is an easy and efficacious treatment for gingival smile (GS). However, its dosage and injection sites effect among patients are controversial.The objective was to compare the reduction of gingival exposure using two methods in patients with different dosage and injection sites. In this prospective self-controlled study, healthy GS participates who had an anterior gingival exposure (GE) of more than 3 mm were enrolled and administered single-point injection of 2 U BTX-A per side in the Simplified Method. And after 8 months, the Individualized Method was administered with 2-5 U BTX-A (total, 4-10 U) injections into 1-2 points according to the severity presented pretreatment. Data were collected at baseline and 4, 12, and 32 weeks of follow-up.
The purpose of the present study will be to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose of botulinum toxin (BTX) at the Yonsei point for the treatment of gummy smile (GS). In this double-blind single-site randomized clinical trial, A total number of 36 patients with gummy smile will be enrolled in the study at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology over a period of 12 months. Patients will be included and randomized 1:1 to two groups for BTX-A treatment at different injection point. For experimental group, Three units of onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) per site (90 hemifaces) will be initially injected at the Yonsei point. For control group，the same dose of BTX will be injected into the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle, and the injection point is located 3 to 5 mm lateral to each nostril, which was a classical injection point of this treatment. The patients will be then assessed at 2, 4, 12, 36 and 72 weeks postinjection. All subjects underwent standardized measurements by a single examiner, including dynamic and static measurements and a lateral cephalometric radiograph. In addition, facial photos and videos and a questionnaire of self-assessment will be obtained. The primary outcome measurement is the anterior gingival exposure measurements when the subject get an achieve full, unrestricted, spontaneous smiles 2 weeks postinjection.
A triple-masked placebo-controlled trial assessing the efficacy and safety of pretarsal versus preseptal botulinum toxin for patients with eyelid spasm. The investigators hypothesize injection of botulinum toxin into the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle will have greater clinical efficacy, better measured quality of life, fewer complications, and better cost effectiveness in comparison to a preseptal pattern of injection.
To compare safely and efficacy of intraprostatic injection of botulinum toxin A versus ethanol for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of plantar heel pain and is commonly present in people 40 years of age or older, overweight, sedentary or with intense physical activity. It is caused by the over-stretching of the plantar fascia, which is a band of connective tissue that extends to the base of the phalanges. This produces micro-tears more commonly in its origin in the medial tuberosity of the calcaneus which causes an inflammatory process and pain. This pain usually occurs when the person gets up in the morning after sleeping or after sitting for a long time. That is when the fascia is stretched after being in a contraction position. There are a great variety of treatments for this pathology, of these, one of the most common is the use of intralesional steroids, which a weighing that reduces symptomatology in many cases also has undesirable effects such as subcutaneous fat atrophy, rupture of the plantar fascia, peripheral nerve injury, muscle damage and stress fractures. Other treatments are extracorporeal shock waves, application of platelet-rich plasma and application of botulinum toxin A intralesional. All of them are accompanied by insoles, night splints and stretching exercises of the Achilles tendon and the plantar fascia. Recent studies have shown that the application of botulinum toxin A intralesional in patients with plantar fasciitis helps to improve the symptomatology to decrease pain in both intensity and presentation time. Decreased inflammation of the plantar fascia has also been demonstrated. This is the sale of the usual form of action of the botulinum toxin, which is applied regularly in the muscles to block the release of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular plaque and obtain its relaxation and not directly in the pain points. We believe that the botulinum toxin can be applied intralesional currently, since there is information that the toxin has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect and not just muscle relaxation. The aim of our work demonstrate that the use of botulinum toxin A and intralesional stretching exercises is superior to intralesional steroids and stretching trying to establish a safer and less painful therapy avoiding complications prior to the application of steroid application.
The objectives of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety between 100 U of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) suburothelial injections and combined 50 U of BoNT-A suburothelial injections and 50 U urethral injection for the treatment of detrusor overactivity and inadequate contractility (DHIC) refractory to antimuscarinic agents
The purpose of this feasibility study is to determine if temporary weakness of a small foot muscle caused by local injection of botulinum toxin into that muscle can be measured with a strain gauge in addition to the previously known valid measurements via nerve conduction studies and surface electromyogram.
