EXPERT Ultrasound and Anatomy Neck
Injection Course for Botulinum Toxin Treatment
Meeting rationale: The management of cervical dystonia and salivary glands can be complex and requires experience in a range of practical techniques. To ensure the safe usage and an optimal treatment response with botulinum toxin therapy, muscles should be correctly localized and injected muscles precisely target. Especially thin muscles and profound muscles often require guidance during the injection. The workshop participants will learn how to use ultrasound guidance for localization and injection. The accuracy of injections in the neck and the salivary glands will be compared using anatomical landmarks and using ultrasound in cadaveric specimens. This practical workshop will provide the opportunity for a small group to improve their injection technique skills and foster their anatomy knowledge which ultimately improves the safe use of botulinum toxin.
Pre-course learning:
To improve participants learning experience a personalized access for a Micro learning App will be circulated. The App (Atrivity) should be used as preparation for the workshop. In a gamified way we would like you to prepare and compete together with the other participants as a start into this workshop. This will allow us to address your needs and your skill level during the training.
