Abstract
Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) has taken a strong place in the rehabilitation of patients with impaired function of mimic muscles in both acute and late post-paralytic periods.Aim: to highlight the main stages of the development of botulinum therapy (BT) in the treatment of mimic muscles dysfunctions in Russia.Methods. Published data were searched in the electronic database Medline (PubMed) and eLibrary.Results. The role of BT in the treatment of mimic muscles dysfunctions, synkinesis (which can be interpreted clinically as secondary hemifacial spasm), lacrimation, dry eye syndrome, as well as the role of BT in the formation of protective ptosis, was analyzed. The stages of the BT formation in Russia as a method of restoring the function of mimic muscles by specialists of various profiles (neurologists, maxillofacial surgeons, rehabilitation specialists, etc.) are described.Conclusion. Currently, there is a BT school in Russia, which based on extensive clinical experience, developed algorithms and methods for administering BT to patients with facial nerve disorders of various etiologies.
