The paper, titled 鈥淭he Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin for the Treatment of Trigeminal and Post-Herpetic Neuralgia: A Systematic Review with Meta-analyses鈥 discusses the treatment of nerve pain with Botulinum toxin type A (BoTN-A).

Ryder and his colleagues specifically examined the efficacy of BoTN-A when used as a treatment for patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) or post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Their research found BoTN-A to be an effective treatment in reducing pain for patients with TN and PHN, which agrees with prior published reviews on this topic.

Ryder鈥檚 co-authors in the study were Thomas Shackleton, D.D.S., M.S.; Saravanan Ram, D.D.S., M.S.; Misty Black, D.D.S., M.S.; Glenn T. Clark, D.D.S., M.S., and Reyes Enciso, Ph.D.
