The availability of neurotoxins has truly altered the approach to the management of spasticity (as well as bestowing youthfulness upon many a brow that previously was furrowed). While phenol neurolysis can play a meaningful role in preserving joint movement in spasticity, neurotoxins have permitted a nuanced and focal approach to balancing muscle forces. It is possible to target a single finger flexor or an entire limb without the prospect of neuropathic pain as an unwanted outcome. Neurotoxins have also been shown to diminish the severity and frequency of migraine headaches, modulate bladder function in hyper-reflexic conditions, and assist in controlling the flow of saliva and sweat via glandular muscle relaxation.
