Article Synopsis
- Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a condition causing muscle contractions in the jaw and related areas, and this study analyzed the effects of botulinum toxin (onabotulinumtoxinA) as a treatment.
- A meta-analysis of 26 studies with 1103 patients showed that 96.2% experienced a positive response to the injections, with 88.9% achieving significant improvement of over 50%.
- Although 17.8% of patients had adverse effects, mainly dysphagia (10.1%), the overall findings suggest that botulinum toxin is an effective treatment for OMD but further studies are needed for more conclusive results.
