Some interesting developments, aspects, and problems concerning botulinum toxin treatment of disorders of the head and
neck region have recently been reported. These new approaches are discussed in this review. They include applications
into mimic muscles (prevention of scar formation, treatment of depressions), into laryngeal muscles, and into the upper
esophagus. In addition, treatment of different forms of headache and tinnitus as well as applications in the autonomic
nervous system are addressed. Some of these options will shortly be put into clinical use, while others have to be checked
further in clinical studies.
