Botulinum toxin, also known as Botox, is a proven medical treatment that is used effectively for various neurological conditions to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.

For people suffering from migraine, botulinum toxin can be used as a preventive measure. It is injected into specific areas of the head to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.

Spasticity often occurs after strokes or with other neurological conditions and leads to muscle stiffness and involuntary movements. Botulinum toxin can be injected specifically into the affected muscles to reduce stiffness and improve mobility.

In hemifacial spasm, involuntary muscle contractions occur in the face. Botulinum toxin is injected specifically into the affected facial muscles to relax them and minimise the uncontrolled twitching and grimacing.

In blepharospasm, involuntary eyelid spasms occur, which can impair vision. Botulinum toxin is injected into the eye muscles to relax them and minimise the spasms, which can considerably improve quality of life.

Dystonia is a condition in which the muscles contract uncontrollably, which can lead to painful cramping. Botulinum toxin is injected into the affected muscles to relax them and normalise movement. This can bring considerable relief.

Berner Neurologie specialises in treatments with botulinum toxin. The treatment takes the form of injections, which are carried out under ultrasound guidance. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the treatment, and the results are often noticeable after a few days to weeks. The injections are usually repeated every three months.
