  • Botulinum toxin has been used for treating strabismus, blepharospasm, cerebral palsy, cervical dystonia, hyperhydrosis, facial wrinkle and chronic migraine under US Food and Drug administration approval. Also it has been tried spasticity-induced pain, post-herpetic neuralgia, myofascial pain and aphthous ulcer as off-label use. In this study, we reviewed recent studies that suggested effects of botulinum toxin on snoring and sleep apnea.
