The hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is likely the most common hereditary disorder connective tissue mainly characterized by joint hypermobility. Patients with hEDS suffer pain, in particular low back commonly resistant to drug therapy. aim this research was evaluate a neurocognitive rehabilitation approach based not only on motion and function recovery but also pain management.In nonrandomized clinical trial, eighteen patients (4 males 14 females) mean age 21 years (range...
Introduction Poststroke spasticity (PSS) affects up to 40% of patients who had a stroke. Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) has been shown improve spasticity, but the optimal timing its application remains unclear. While several predictors upper limb PSS are known, their utility in clinical practice relation BoNT-A treatment yet be fully elucidated. The COLOSSEO-BoNT study aims investigate and effects on spasticity-related metrics real-world setting. Methods analysis recruitment will...
Botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) is the first-line treatment for idiopathic cervical dystonia (ICD) and widely used in clinical setting.

Abstract: Improvement of overall survival in breast cancer patients has lead recently to an increased focus on prevention and management cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL), a condition that deeply impacts function quality life (QoL) survivors. Current data still demonstrate BCRL rates ranging from 10% 30% at 2 years, with high heterogeneity measurement methods different incidence the disease (from 5% after breast-conserving surgery over 50% mastectomy, radiation chemotherapy). The present...
The physician and patient come into close contact during botulinum toxin treatments, increasing the chances of COVID-19 infection. Therefore, it is essential to use an effective injection method that can prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus.
