ABSTRACT
Injections of botulinum toxin (BTX) are prescribed for various disorders, including spasticity, dystonia, pain and neurosecretory conditions, et al. Accurately targeting muscles for injection is one of the principle goals when performing BTX injection. Injections have been guided by anatomic landmarks, electromyography or electrical stimulation,as well as imaging techniques. Ultrasound imaging guidance has many benefits, including accuracy, low risk, no radiation and low cost. The advantages and application progress of ultrasound-guided BTX injection were reviewed in this article.
