Patient Perceptions of a Preventive Effect of Long-Term Botulinum Neurotoxin Therapy in Cervical Dystonia
< 0.001). Long-term BoNT-treated patients with CD believe that disease severity would worsen again if BoNT therapy were discontinued. However, they do not expect CD severity to deteriorate to the level that they believe would have been reached if no BoNT therapy had been administered. We interpret this finding as suggesting that patients perceive a preventive effect of long-term BoNT therapy.
