Assessing Changes in Hand Tactile Sensitivity After Glabellar Botulinum Toxin Treatment
The authors' results suggest that the plastic changes observed in previous studies do not necessarily result in clinically significant manifestations when utilizing small to moderate amounts of botulinum toxin-A for aesthetic correction of glabellar lines, thus highlighting the safety of botulinum toxin-A for this indication. Further research is required to gain a comprehensive understanding of whether hand-associated cortical activity is altered after aesthetic amounts of botulinum toxin are injected.
