Treating Cervical Dystonia with Botulinum
A dosage of the neurotoxin botulinum type B can help patients diagnosed with cervical dystonia. This neurotoxin, related to the popular cosmetic treatment Botox, works by paralyzing a patient’s muscles at the site of injection. This allows patients to avoid many of the discomforting or painful symptoms associated with cervical dystonia. However, this toxin can also come with some complications.

RimabotulinumtoxinB Treatment Problems
A person may develop cervical dystonia because of prolonged use of or intense dosage exposures to Reglan. This condition causes uncontrollable muscle movements in the neck. As a result, a person may use botulinum as a way to stop these uncontrollable movements. This neurotoxin effectively paralyzes the muscles around the area of injection, but the following problems can develop:
- Difficulty swallowing
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty speaking
- Blurred vision
- Loss of muscle strength across the body
- Loss of bladder control
Many of these problems occur when the toxin has spread out into other parts of the body. Although this neurotoxin should stay located around the muscles it is injected into, this is not always the case.
