Doctors are using poison to fight problems related to strokes. The botox treatment is already being used here in Houston.
Few people are aware that botox shots are being given to stroke patients.
The treatment has been used at UT-Houston medical school for years. But more people are becoming aware of it, now that a new California study has confirmed that botulinum toxin can relax muscles after stroke. And the shots work for most stroke patients, no matter how long ago their stroke occurred. Botox shots are used by dermatologists to erase deep wrinkles. Botox shots can stop some forms of hand tremors.
