“…The antinociceptive action of botulinum toxin A for shoulder pain noted in this review is very similar to the antinociceptive action of botulinum toxin A noted for neck pain in patients with torticollis (or "wry neck") 51 . Other studies of botulinum toxin have demonstrated a potential antinociceptive action in patients with migraine and tension headaches 27 , myofascial and back pain 28,29,52 , and chronic tennis elbow 29,52 .…”
With evidence from few studies with small sample sizes and medium to high risk of bias, botulinum toxin type A injections decreased pain and improved shoulder function in patients with chronic shoulder pain due to spastic hemiplegia or arthritis.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
