EXPERT Ultrasound Face and Neck Course
Ultrasound Course for Botulinum Toxin Treatment
Meeting rationale: The management of cranial and cervical dystonia as well as of sialorrhea requires experience and skills in a range of practical aspects. To ensure the safe usage and an optimal treatment response with botulinum toxin therapy, target structures should be correctly localised and injected.
The objective of this meeting is to foster the use of ultrasound as a guiding technique for injections in a small group. Ideally, the acquired knowledge will lead to an improvement in patient care.
