Clinical Uses of Botulinum Toxins

Botulinum toxins now play a very significant role in the management
of a wide variety of medical conditions; from headaches to
hypersalivation, and from spasticity to sweating. In this book, a
strong, international team of experts outline the basic
neurochemistry of botulinum toxins and chart the progress of the drug
from laboratory to clinic. Then individual chapters summarize their
use for the main clinical indications in the context of other
available treatments. This book will be of interest to
neuroscientists and practising clinicians working in a wide range of
specialities, from neurology and dermatology to pediatrics, plastic
surgery and rehabilitation medicine.
