The use of botulinum toxin in Otorhinolaryngology has rapidly expanded over the last decade. Current observation is that the use of botulinum toxin in Otorhinolaryngology is relatively poorly acknowledged by Otorhinolaryngologists.
To summarise the non-cosmetic uses of botulinum toxin in Otorhinolaryngology.
Narrative.
A literature search was performed using the Medline and Embase databases. Combinations of 'botulinum toxin' with each indication were searched. A citation was included if it evaluated a non-cosmetic use of botulinum toxin in Otorhinolaryngology. Eligibility of studies was assessed by two reviewers. A total of 1187 abstracts were reviewed and 97 articles identified.
Botulinum toxin provides an effective and minimally invasive treatment option in a wide range of non-cosmetic indications. Side-effects are few and transient with an excellent safety profile. Ongoing research is required to fully critically appraise its uses.
在过去十年中，肉毒杆菌毒素在耳鼻喉科的应用迅速扩展。目前观察到，耳鼻喉科医生对肉毒杆菌毒素在该领域的应用了解相对较少。
总结肉毒杆菌毒素在耳鼻喉科的非美容用途。
叙述性。
使用Medline和Embase数据库进行文献检索。搜索了“肉毒杆菌毒素”与每种适应症的组合。如果文章评估了肉毒杆菌毒素在耳鼻喉科的非美容用途，则将其纳入。由两名审稿人评估研究的合格性。共审查了1187篇摘要，确定了97篇文章。
肉毒杆菌毒素在广泛的非美容适应症中提供了一种有效且微创的治疗选择。副作用少且短暂，安全性极佳。需要进行持续研究以全面严格评估其用途。
