Practical Guide to Botulinum Toxin Injections is the perfect solution for trainees and novice injectors looking for technical guidance performing chemodenervation procedures using botulinum toxin. This high-yield pocket book provides a visual roadmap for procedural targets with illustrations of each muscle and labeled injection sites and includes dosing recommendations for all clinically-available toxins. The manual walks readers through a brief introduction to toxin use before diving into applications muscle by muscle. Each body region gives a closer look at the individual muscles involved, detailing muscle action, injection localization, recommended dosing and injection sites, and pearls and pitfalls where relevant. Later sections address other clinical applications including cervical dystonia, migraine, blepharospasm, hyperhidrosis, and special clinical syndromes such as writer's cramp. Complete with original illustrations detailing anatomy and suggested injection localization for targeted muscles, this'one-stop-shop'reference will appeal to anyone in physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology, dermatology, pain management, and other fields seeking to acquire or reinforce skills. Key Features: Over 135 detailed anatomic illustrations with suggested injection points Dosing recommendations for 95 muscles throughout the upper and lower limbs and axial muscle groups Coverage of clinical applications and syndromes to help providers recognize common patterns of muscle involvement

The Essential Guide for Clinicians Who Prescribe and Inject BoNTsThis is a detailed and practical guide to botulinum neurotoxin therapy (BoNT) and the wide range of applications for neurological and pain disorders. A unique reference source for new injectors and experienced clinicians alike, this indispensable manual provides information on dose, dilution, and indications for all four FDA-approved toxins in one handy text.Following a brief review of relevant pharmacology, the book provides product information and comparative distinctions between the four FDA-approved toxins (BotoxÆ, MyoblocÆ, XeominÆ, and DysportÆ), along with indications and doses for FDA-approved conditions, guidance techniques, and common and emerging clinical applications. The heart of the book is an injection manual, organized anatomically and by condition and covering all applications for medical treatment. For each condition or site, information is provided on typical muscle pattern or muscle groups involved, dosing guidelines and dilution for the applicable toxins, number of injection sites, and potential risks and benefits. Targeting techniques are organized in table format for quick retrieval. Anatomic illustrations and cross-sections are provided to orient injectors and help identify optimal insertion points. An appendix with useful clinical rating scales is also included.Key Features:Presents state-of-the-art information about current indications for all four FDA-approved botulinum neurotoxinsCompares and contrasts the four toxins along with common and emerging clinical applicationsProvides dosing guidelines for various indications and injection sites for each muscleIncludes anatomic drawings and cross-sections to illustrate muscle relationships and insertion pointsServes as a practical, portable, how-to guide for new and experienced clinicians
