Central action of peripherally applied botulinum toxin type A on pain and dural protein extravasation in rat model of trigeminal neuropathy
Background Infraorbital nerve constriction (IoNC) is an experimental model of trigeminal
neuropathy. We investigated if IoNC is accompanied by dural extravasation and if botulinum …

Botulinum toxin type A selectivity for certain types of pain is associated with capsaicin-sensitive neurons
Unlike most classical analgesics, botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) does not alter acute
nociceptive thresholds, and shows selectivity primarily for allodynic and hyperalgesic responses …
