Botulinum toxin (botox®) is an exotoxin produced from clostridium botulinum. its mode of action is to block the release of acetylcholine from the cholinergic nerve end plates, leading to inactivity of the innervated muscles. botox® is best known for its beneficial role in facial rejuvenation. recent literature has highlighted its application in multiple non-cosmetic medical head and neck conditions. this clinical note will review the current indications pertaining to the use of botox® in managing different orofacial pain conditions.
