Neuromuscular blockers

J M Gracies et al. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 1999 May.

Abstract

The use of corrosive, injectable neuromuscular blockers has been a treatment option for many years; however, the more recent advent of botulinum toxin (BTX) treatment has revived interest in localized treatments. This article reviews the use of local anesthetics, alcohol, phenol, and BTX treatment for localized muscular overactivity syndromes.
