Botulinum Toxin Consultation

The medical use of botulinum toxin is an established procedure for treating neurological movement disorders, excessive salivation, and chronic migraine.
It is particularly used in the treatment of spasticity and focal dystonias, and can help improve mobility, relieve pain, and enhance quality of life.
In our Botulinum Toxin Consultation, patients receive personalized advice regarding botulinum toxin therapy and, if indicated, corresponding treatment.

What can you expect during the Botulinum Toxin Consultation?

  • Individual Consultation: Discussion of treatment areas and options relevant to you, for example, in cases of focal dystonias (such as cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, or writer’s cramp), chronic migraine, or spasticity following stroke or multiple sclerosis.
  • Targeted Treatment: Injections using very fine needles under ultrasound and/or EMG guidance to deliver botulinum toxin precisely into the affected muscles or glands.
  • Improved Function and Care: Reduction of muscle tone to facilitate physiotherapy and occupational therapy, improvement of care in cases of spastic postures (e.g. adductor spasticity, spastic fist), and relief of painful muscle tension associated with spasticity and/or dystonia.
  • Comprehensive Support: Assessment within an interdisciplinary team, adjustment of the injection scheme to the individual situation, and counseling regarding benefits and possible side effects.
  • Long-Term Therapy Planning: As this is a recurring treatment, the approach is reviewed and adapted on a regular basis.
