Sangeeta T Mahajan et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2007 Jan.

Abstract

Botulinum toxin A is the newest therapy for the treatment of a variety of medical disorders caused by abnormalities of muscle activity. After successful use in other medical subspecialties, the newest applications of this potent neurotoxin are within the lower urinary tract. The toxin has evolved from a cause of fatal disease into the newest neuropharmacologic medical therapy.
