Abstract
The authors compared the efficacy of three different doses (18.75, 37.5, and 75 MU per parotid gland) of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A; Dysport, Ipsen Pharma, Germany) injections vs vehicle in patients with sialorrhea (n = 32) using a single-center, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-finding study. The primary endpoint was achieved with 75 MU BTX-A without treatment-related adverse events, suggesting BTX-A is a safe and effective treatment for patients with sialorrhea.Entities:
