Dr. Pappert reported, "In our study population, which we believe to be representative of people with CD in the United States, we found that escalating doses of Botulinum Toxin Type B were well-tolerated and efficacious. Using TWSTRS and the Visual Analog Assessments, we often saw improvement by the second week. Moreover, no treatment-related, serious adverse events were reported in any of the 145 subjects."
Shawn P. O'Brien, President and CEO of Solstice Neurosciences, commented, "The results reported by Dr. Pappert add to the ever-growing body of evidence that MYOBLOC can safely and effectively be used in a variety of CD patients for the pain and abnormal head position associated with this devastating and disabling condition."
