Abstract
Botulinum toxin A is emerging as a valuable clinical tool, both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in a wide variety of disorders, and is already the treatment of choice for selected conditions. Better understanding of its modes of action may identify alternative targets for pharmacological intervention, and may allow development of longer acting drugs with lower immunogenicity. Therapeutic uses of BTX-A must be assessed systematically in prospective studies, and the clinical role of other subtypes requires evaluation.
