Factors influencing response to Botulinum toxin type A in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia: results from an international observational study

Abstract

Three of four criteria were met by most patients. The proposed multidimensional definition of response appears to be practical for routine practice. Unrealistically high patient expectation and subjectivity may influence the perception of a quick waning of effect, but highlights that this aspect may be a hurdle to response in some patients.
