Deep, posterior muscles of the neck. A proposal for injection procedures.
The emergence of the col-cap concept in the 2010s led to a focus on previously neglected muscles, hoping to improve the benefit of botulinum toxin injections in patients with movements disorders of the head and neck. The deep posterior cerv…

Does the guidance method affect the doses of botulinum toxin in writer's cramp?
[PURPOSE] Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections are the main medical treatment of writer's cramp. When the outcome is favourable, patients usually receive injections several times per year in the long-term. However, we know little about th…

Doses of Botulinum Toxin in Cervical Dystonia: Does Ultrasound Guidance Change Injection Practices?
[BACKGROUND] Cervical dystonia is widely understood to benefit from botulinum toxin injections. The injection practices may be influenced by specific factors, including the method of injection. Three main guidance methods can be used: palpa…

Trial of Botulinum Toxin for Isolated or Essential Head Tremor.
[BACKGROUND] Local injections of botulinum toxin type A have been used to treat essential head tremor but have not been extensively studied in randomized trials. [METHODS] In a multicenter, double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned, in a…

Does ultrasound-guidance improve the outcome of botulinum toxin injections in cervical dystonia?
[PURPOSE] Ultrasound-guided injections of botulinum neurotoxin in cervical dystonia have a number of theoretical advantages. However, their action has never been compared to that of non-guided injections. The objectives of the study were to…

Dose per muscle in cervical dystonia: pooled data from seven movement disorder centres.
[AIM OF STUDY] Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) injections are the established treatment in cervical dystonia (CD). But clinical practice regarding the choice of muscles into which injections are made varies between centres. Until now, …

Frequency of different subtypes of cervical dystonia: a prospective multicenter study according to Col-Cap concept.
Patients with cervical dystonia (CD) may present with head and/or neck movements in the coronal, sagittal or transverse plane. According to the Col-Cap concept, CD postures are classified in torti-, latero-, ante- and retrocollis/caput patt…

Tremor in Idiopathic Cervical Dystonia - Possible Implications for Botulinum Toxin Treatment Considering the Col-Cap Classification.
[BACKGROUND] Tremor is an important phenotypic feature of dystonia. Using the new concept (Col-Cap) of classification we examined the frequency of tremor in cervical dystonia (CD) patients, their main subtypes and muscles injected. [METHOD…
