BACKGROUND
It has been suggested that botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) treatment for frown lines can also be used as a treatment for depression. A psychological mechanism for this effect is reviewed in which paralysis of the corrugator (frown) muscles leads to less facial feedback for negative emotions. Consequently, a negative affect is harder to maintain and so the person has a more positive mood.
METHODS
In order to test this mechanism, the mood of patients who had received BTX-A treatment for glabelar frown lines was measured and compared with patients who had received other cosmetic treatments.
RESULTS
The BTX-A-treated patients showed significantly less negative mood.
CONCLUSION
The results support the facial feedback view that frowning can make one unhappier. Treatments that prevent frowning correlate with reduced negative mood.
背景
有人提出，肉毒杆菌毒素A（BTX-A）治疗皱眉纹也可用于治疗抑郁症。本文回顾了这种效应的一种心理机制，即皱眉肌麻痹会减少负面情绪的面部反馈。因此，负面情绪更难维持，所以患者会有更积极的情绪。
方法
为了验证这一机制，对接受BTX-A治疗眉间皱眉纹的患者的情绪进行了测量，并与接受其他美容治疗的患者进行了比较。
结果
接受BTX-A治疗的患者负面情绪明显较少。
结论
结果支持面部反馈观点，即皱眉会让人更不开心。防止皱眉的治疗与负面情绪的减少相关。
