Researchers have found that patients who experience a painful and debilitating nerve compression disorder called thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) experience less pain after they receive a single low-dose injection of BOTOXâ„¢. TOS is caused by a compression of nerves in the lower neck, which occurs when there is not enough room in the cavity between the base of the neck and the armpit for nerve impulses to freely pass through.
Patients reported a significant reduction in short term pain after they received a low dose injection of BOTOXâ„¢ to a muscle in their neck. The small study suggests that BOTOXâ„¢ could be used as a safe non-invasive alternative method to pain relief for the syndrome as an alternative to surgery.
It’s not the first time that BOTOX™ has been discovered to help relieve pain. Previous studies have shown that BOTOX™ can help to alleviate the symptoms and pain of ocular migraines which can be triggered by hormonal changes, flashing lights and in some cases the chemicals found in food.
Sufferers of migraines reported dramatically less migraine pains and noted that they had fewer migraines on a weekly basis after the BOTOXâ„¢ treatment.
Patients looking into BOTOX™ treatments for aesthetic reasons should look no further than The Hospital Group, one of the country’s leading cosmetic surgery providers.
David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group, said: “Consumers should only seek treatments for BOTOXâ„¢ from recognised and trained medical aesthetic healthcare practitioners.
“With The Hospital Group’s expert advice and procedures people can be assured of a safe, dependable solution to their wrinkles.
“As one of the UK’s leading providers of cosmetic surgery, anti-wrinkle treatments are part and parcel of a vast number of fantastic anti-ageing treatments available across our 19 clinics throughout the UK.”
