Abstract
Botulinum toxin treatment is most commonly used for blepharospasm, spastic torticollis, upper limb dystonia, and local dystonia in Japan. Botulinum toxin treatment is the first choice in these conditions. However, it has the disadvantages that the therapeutic effect is transient, that there are cases in whom the treatment is ineffective, and a high cost. In ineffective cases, botulinum toxin treatment involves medication and rehabilitation. Various medications have been used for the treatment of focal dystonia mainly in open trials. As these treatments have low evidence levels, each case should be dealt with individually. Operative treatment should be considered for severe cases.
