Description
The Manual of Botulinum Toxin Therapy provides practical guidance on the use of botulinum toxin in a wide variety of disorders, in many areas of medicine. Using clear line drawings, it describes the relevant injection sites for each condition and gives comparative dosage tables for the various formulations of toxin used in different muscle groups. It also provides the most up-to-date review of the range of applications, including coverage of promising future developments. The emphasis throughout is on technique. This book can be read as a teaching aid, and will also be useful for immediate bedside guidance. This Manual will be of interest to the growing band of clinicians discovering the potential of botulinum toxin, including neurologists, otolaryngologists, urologists, ophthalmologists, dermatologists, internists, pain management specialists, rehabilitation specialists and plastic surgeons.
