Clinical performance of Botulinum Toxin injections in the treatment of bruxism: A retrospective study
Context
The effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BTX) in treating bruxism is recognised and well-established. However, it is often recommended in cases of severe bruxism.
Objectives
This study aims to highlight the performance of trigger points (TrPs) released with BTX injections at an early stage of bruxism while providing an overview of its analgesic effect.
Methods
67 patients who suffered from bruxism between 2009 and 2015 and who recovered completely after injection sessions. Patients were divided into two groups based on bruxism duration. The main outcomes were pain relief, injection sessions, required doses, and recovery duration between two consecutive sessions. The treatment was stopped when bruxism disappeared.
Results
Out of all the patients who experienced long-standing symptoms, 70,3 % were given high doses of toxin, while only 16,67 % of patients with recent bruxism received similar doses. Long-standing bruxism required more injection sessions than recent bruxism where the time to recurrence between sessions was longer. The follow-up varied from 16 to 55 months.
Conclusion
Our study highlights promising and reliable results in treating bruxism and myofascial pain using botulinum toxin, particularly in trigger points, where the earlier it is started, the lower the doses and the better the effect in the long term.
期刊介绍:
Toxicon has an open access mirror Toxicon: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. An introductory offer Toxicon: X - full waiver of the Open Access fee.
Toxicon''s "aims and scope" are to publish:
-articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms
-papers on novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and immunological properties of natural toxins
-molecular biological studies of toxins and other genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins
-clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained.
-material on the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes and material on subjects related to venom and antivenom problems.
-articles on the translational application of toxins, for example as drugs and insecticides
-epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, so long as they highlight a previously unrecognised medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning. Retrospective surveys of hospital records, especially those lacking species identification, will not be considered for publication. Properly designed prospective community-based surveys are strongly encouraged.
-articles describing well-known activities of venoms, such as antibacterial, anticancer, and analgesic activities of arachnid venoms, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component, will not be considered for publication in Toxicon.
-review articles on problems related to toxinology.
To encourage the exchange of ideas, sections of the journal may be devoted to Short Communications, Letters to the Editor and activities of the affiliated societies.
