Botox and therapy together are being researched as potential treatments for post-stroke patients with clenched fists and arm paralysis. Scientists in Melbourne, Australia are hopeful that this will give victims their mobility back, allowing them to perform things like grasp cutlery or steer a car.
Botox helps these stroke patients because it temporarily prevents movement in the muscles that need it. Patients were then instructed to perform muscle-strengthening activities. After three months, after the effectiveness of Botox had diminished, the data showed “substantial movement.”
Although Botox is most recognized for its anti-aging aesthetic applications, it also has several useful medical applications. Aiding with conditions such as irritated bladder syndrome, headaches, eye twitching, and crossed eyes are among these.
