Zusammenfassung

Die therapeutische Anwendung von Botulinumtoxin (BT) hat sich seit ihrer Einführung in die deutsche Neurologie vor zwölf Jahren als erfolgreichstes Verfahren zur Behandlung von Dystonien und anderen Muskelüberaktivitätssyndromen etabliert. In der vorliegenden Übersicht werden immunologische Aspekte der BT-Therapie, Konversionsfaktoren zum Vergleich verschiedener BT-Päparationen, Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Elektromyographie bei der Planung und Durchführung der BT-Therapie, Entwicklungen neuer BT-Präparationen und Versorgungsstrukturen der BT-Therapie dargestellt.

Abstract

Therapeutic use of botulinum toxin (BT) is now established as the most effective treatment for dystonia and other muscle hyperactivity syndromes after it was introduced to German neurology 12 years ago. In this review, immunological aspects of BT therapy, conversion factors for comparison of different BT preparations, use of electromyography for planning and application of BT therapy, development of new BT preparations and health care system structures for providing BT therapy are presented.

Key words

Botulinum toxin - Therapy - Dystonia - Immunology - Conversion factors - Electromyography - Type A - Type B - Health care system
