EPICONDYLITIS Injection of Botulinum Toxin for Treatment of Chronic Lateral Epicondylitis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Objectives: Lateral epicondylitis can be chronic and difficult to manage with conservative measures such as physical therapy and corticosteroid injection. We attempted to determine the efficacy of botulinum toxin for the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylitis. Methods: We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Google Scholar, EMBASE, PEDro, and ISI web of Science databases from inception until N...

A Potential New Indication for Botulinum Toxin Injection: A Case Study of Spasticity with Mirror Movements

A 17‐year‐old male patient who was diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy in his childhood came for seeking management of spasticity in his right upper limb. We found that he had typical presentations of MM in his right upper limb. Every time, when he was trying to extend his left wrist and fingers, his right wrist and fingers extended simultaneously.

Lateral epicondylitis: new evidence for work relatedness.

Lateral epicondylitis is one of the most common upper-limb usculoskeletal disorders in general practice [1] and in working opulation [2] with an estimated incidence ranging from 0.3–1.1 er 100 person-years [3]. Its description by Runge in 1873 and ajor in 1883 as “Lawn-tennis elbow” was due to its association ith the biomechanical injuries in this sport [4]. Recent systemtic reviews concluded t...
