Botox improves 52% of depressed by at least 50%

Posted by Hugh on April 3, 2014, at 10:09:53

In the largest randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to date on the effect of OnabotulinumtoxinA (known as Botox) on depression, researchers found that more than half of subjects suffering from moderate to severe depression showed a substantial improvement (greater than or equal to 50% of baseline) in their depressive symptoms as measured by the MADRS scale. The study showed that Botox may help relieve depressive symptoms both as a stand-alone and an adjunctive treatment.
