Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) for treating tennis elbow through a review of randomized clinical trials up until June 2024.
- Seven trials involving 381 middle-aged patients showed that BT-A significantly reduced pain compared to placebo at two to twelve weeks, but grip strength remained similar between both groups.
- The study concludes that while BT-A helps alleviate pain in tennis elbow, more research is required for definitive proof of its safety and effectiveness due to limitations in the current studies.
Article Synopsis
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) involves symptoms like pain, swelling, and movement issues, and this study investigates the effectiveness of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) as a treatment.
- The research followed PRISMA guidelines and included three randomized controlled trials with 64 patients, comparing BoNT-A to a placebo, focusing on pain relief outcomes.
- Results indicate BoNT-A may help reduce CRPS pain, especially when combined with lumbar sympathetic blockade, but more extensive studies are needed to confirm its safety and efficacy, particularly for local application methods which still require further examination.
