Botulinum Toxin A Injections

The Movement Disorders Center offers botulinum toxin A injections for involuntary twitching of the eyes (Blepharospasm) or one side of the face (Hemifacial Spasms), and for relief of various painful conditions. EMG (Electromyography) guided injection of botulinum toxin A for various forms of focal dystonia and spasticity resulting from strokes, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury and other causes are also performed. It is important to identify the specific muscle to be injected in these situations. EMG guidance helps ensure that the botulinum toxin A is delivered to the appropriate muscles.
