INJECTION OF BOTULINUM TOXIN IN THE TREATMENT OF ACHALASIA: A RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE BLIND, CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL
Our aim was to evaluate the short and long term efficacy of botulinum toxin therapy in Iranian patients with achalasia. In a randomized, double blind trial, 20 patients with achalasia, referring to Imam Khomeini Hospital, received either 80 units of botulinum toxin (BT) or placebo (PL) from 1995 to 1998. Two weeks later, the response to treatment was assessed on the basis of changes in the...
متن کاملBotulinum toxin: mechanisms of action.
This review describes therapeutically relevant mechanisms of action of botulinum toxin (BT). BT's molecular mode of action includes extracellular binding to glycoproteine structures on cholinergic nerve terminals and intracellular blockade of the acetylcholine secretion. BT affects the spinal stretch reflex by blockade of intrafusal muscle fibres with consecutive reduction of Ia/II afferent sig...
متن کاملCharacterization of diffusion and duration of action of a new botulinum toxin type A formulation.
RT002, an injectable form of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA), comprised of a purified 150 kDa neurotoxin formulated in a novel formulation, is designed to limit the extent of diffusion and permit safe administration of longer acting doses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of diffusion of RT002 in comparison to another commercially available BoNTA product, Botox® Cosmetic (On...
متن کاملBotulinum toxin in clinical practice.
Botulinum toxin, the most potent biological toxin, has become a powerful therapeutic tool for a growing number of clinical applications. This review draws attention to new findings about the mechanism of action of botulinum toxin and briefly reviews some of its most frequent uses, focusing on evidence based data. Double blind, placebo controlled studies, as well as open label clinical trials, p...
متن کاملThe Light Chain Defines the Duration of Action of Botulinum Toxin Serotype A Subtypes
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is the causative agent of botulism and a widely used pharmaceutical to treat a variety of neurological diseases. BoNTs are 150-kDa protein toxins organized into heavy chain (HC) and light chain (LC) domains linked by a disulfide bond. The HC selectively binds to neurons and aids cell entry of the enzymatically active LC. There are seven immunological BoNT serotypes (...
