Efficacy of botulinum toxin type B (rimabotulinumtoxinB) in patients with cervical dystonia previously treated with botulinum toxin type A: A post-marketing observational study in Japan

To date, efficacy data on botulinum toxin type B (rimabotulinumtoxinB) in patients with cervical dystonia (CD) previously treated with botulinum toxin type A in a large population are lacking; thus, we aimed to evaluate type B efficacy in this patient population. In a post-marketing observational co...

In a post-marketing observational cohort study, 150 patients previously treated with botulinum toxin type A were enrolled, of whom 138 were followed up for 1 year after the initial type B injection. Final observation data were available for 122 patients. Efficacy was evaluated using the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale. Total score improved from 39.9 at baseline to 34.3 at 4 weeks after the first injection, and pain score improved from 8.9 to 7.9. Improvements were maintained through six further injections in two subpopulations: patients who showed resistance to botulinum toxin type A and patients who were not type A resistant but switched to type B. For a number of patients, even low doses (<5000 units) of botulinum toxin type B demonstrated efficacy. These findings support the efficacy of botulinum toxin type B in clinical settings for the management of CD symptoms, including pain, even at low doses, regardless of the patient's botulinum toxin type A resistance status.Ryuji KajiAkira EndoMichiko SugawaraMika IshiiElsevierarticleCervical dystoniaPost-marketing observational studyBotulinum toxin type ABotulinum toxin type BToronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating ScaleNeurology.
