Author and Disclosure Information

Adequate research and evidence for most of the applications discussed in this article are still lacking; some limitations include small sample size, bias, lower quality, and poor methodology. There is also a lack of standardization, including which BoNT product is used, dosage, and location of BoNT placement. All of these issues will need to be addressed in further research.
