Raynaud's conditions of the hand, referred to commonly as Raynaud's phenomenon, both primary and secondary, represents a spectrum of disorders affecting the digits, characterised by recurrent episodes of vasospasm that result in a triad of symptoms: pain, pallor, and cyanosis. Various therapies, ranging from conservative hand therapy techniques to surgical sympathectomy, have been explored with inconsistent results. Recently, the local administration of botulinum toxin type-A (BTX-A) has re-emerged as a treatment option for this condition.
