Sažetak
Recent studies implicate sustained pericranial muscular contraction in the causation of cronic tension-type headache. To investigate this, we performed a study on the use of botulinum toxin A in the treatment of patients with chronic tension-type headaches. Significant decreases in tenderness scores for the frontalis, trapezius and sternocleidomastoideus muscles were obtained in all 10 patients between 1 and 2 weeks after an injection of toxin. In addition all patients experienced a gradual decrease in severity and duration of attacks. Clinical improvement lasted up to 8 weeks. Our preliminary study demonstrates that injection of botulinum toxin A could be an effective treatment for patients with chronic tension-type headaches.
