The signals that cause pain and muscle spasms are sent to the muscles through the nerves. BOTOX
® neurotoxin blocks the signals that cause muscle spasms directly in the affected muscles, resulting in relief. Similarly, BOTOX
® is thought to block the signals that cause pain.
A study done in patients with CD showed that BOTOX
® treatment can help reduce the intensity and frequency of pain. Pain relief may happen first, before muscles become significantly relaxed.
