Botulinum toxin (BTx) has been administered for many years in the treatment of dystonias with great success. Its effectiveness is comparable with the best drugs. It was observed during spasmodic torticollis treatment that pain disappears as first before clinical improvement of dystonia. Different mechanisms of influence of BTx on pain are discussed. BTx was tried in tension headache, cluster headache, migraine, fibromyositis, painful cramps with varying results. It is possible that BTx will be useful in many other types of pain.
肉毒杆菌毒素（BTx）多年来一直用于治疗肌张力障碍，取得了巨大成功。其有效性与最佳药物相当。在痉挛性斜颈治疗过程中观察到，在肌张力障碍临床改善之前，疼痛首先消失。人们讨论了BTx对疼痛的不同影响机制。在紧张性头痛、丛集性头痛、偏头痛、纤维肌炎、疼痛性痉挛中试用了BTx，结果各不相同。BTx有可能对许多其他类型的疼痛有用。
