The landmark paper discussed in this chapter is ‘Botulinum toxin type A induces direct analgesic effects in chronic neuropathic pain’, published by Ranoux et al. in 2008. The muscle-relaxant properties of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) have long been known and used therapeutically. However, BTX-A actions independent of those affecting neuromuscular function had previously only been alluded to, via the observation that BTX-A injections alleviated pain more than would have been expected through the treatment of muscle spasm alone. This paper was one of the first to specifically examine the efficacy of BTX-A in neuropathic pain and was a catalyst for further investigation into BTX-A as a novel analgesic.

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to evaluate, subjectively and objectively, the diagnostic and therapeutic effects of botulinum toxin (Botox) in patients with dysphagia caused by cricopharyngeus (CP) muscle spasm and/or hypertonicity. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was done of 5 patients with normally functioning larynges treated with CP Botox injection for dysphagia caused by perceived spasm. Subjective measures of swallowing function after injection were obtained with a patient questionnaire. Objective data were obtained both before and after surgery by one or more of the following tests: modified barium swallow study, manometry, videostroboscopy, and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. Quality-of-life measures were obtained with a swallowing rating scale. RESULTS: Overall, all patients had initial improvement in swallowing after Botox injection. The duration of benefit was from 2 to 14 months. There were no complications. Four of 5 patients had long-term benefits, as evidenced by decreased or eliminated aspiration symptoms, removal of tracheotomy, ability to eat solid foods, and weight gain. One patient continues to have poor swallowing function. CONCLUSION: Botox injection of the CP muscle to treat dysphagia is effective in patients with underlying muscle spasm or hypertonicity. A positive response to Botox can also help confirm the diagnosis of CP muscle spasm.

Background and objectivesMany women with endometriosis continue to have pelvic pain despite optimal surgical and hormonal treatment; some also have palpable pelvic floor muscle spasm. We describe changes in pain, spasm, and disability after pelvic muscle onabotulinumtoxinA injection in women with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain, a specific population not addressed in prior pelvic pain studies on botulinum toxin.MethodsWe present an open-label proof-of-concept case series of women with surgically diagnosed endometriosis. Under conscious sedation and with topical anesthetic, 100 units of onabotulinumtoxinA was injected transvaginally into pelvic floor muscle spasm areas under electromyography guidance. Changes in pain intensity, muscle spasm, disability, and pain medication use were assessed at periodic visits for up to 1 year after injection.ResultsThirteen women underwent botulinum toxin injection and were followed for at least 4 months. Before injection, 11 of the 13 women had spasm in >4/6 assessed pelvic muscles and reported moderate pain (median visual analog scale (VAS): 5/10; range: 2–7). By 4–8 weeks after injection, spasm was absent/less widespread (≤3 muscles) in all (p=0.0005). Eleven rated their postinjection pain as absent/mild (median VAS: 2; range: 0–5; p<0.0001); 7/13 reduced pain medication. Disability decreased in 6/8 women with at least moderate preinjection disability (p=0.0033). Relief lasted 5–11 months in 7 of the 11 patients followed for up to 1 year. Adverse events were mild and transient.ConclusionsThese findings suggest pelvic floor spasm may be a major contributor to endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. Botulinum toxin injection may provide meaningful relief of pain and associated disability.Trial registration numberNCT01553201
