摘要
The authors evaluated intraparotid injections of botulinum toxin A in reducing salivary secretions and drooling in nine patients with PD. There was a marked objective reduction in secretion, and two thirds of the patients had subjective improvement in drooling. No side effects were observed. The authors conclude that botulinum toxin A promises to be a simple and effective treatment for the common problem of drooling saliva in chronic neurologic disease.
