“…Dysphagia, which may be present in up to 25% of patients with CD even before initial BoNT treatment [ 111 ], is one of the most frequent side effects, occurring in 9% of treated patients, followed by neck weakness, which occurred in 10% [ 107 ]. In a prospective study of 18 patients with CD, in additional rotation, tilt, forward shift, backward shift, shoulder elevation, shoulder depression, and tremor, 9 (50%) complained of coughing and/or choking and this increased to 11 (61%) along with voice changes in 9 (50%), and sensation of food stuck in the throat in 8 (44%) [ 111 ].…”

“…According to one study, only half of the patients with CD that had radiographic evidence of abnormal peristalsis prior to treatment with BoNT/A reported symptoms of dysphagia prior to BoNT treatment ( 56 ). A robust methodology for assessing dysphagia before and after BoNT treatment may help inform dosing and avoid potential dysphagia-related AEs ( 57 ).…”

“…Numerous short-term RCT studies and long-term observational studies have demonstrated that the efficacy of BoNT can be sustained for decades along with continued safety (8,15,70,73,88,(97)(98)(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105)(106)(107).…”
