The Effect of Abobotulinum Toxin A on the Symptoms of Raynaud’s Phenomenon: A Case Series

2020 
Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a relatively common syndrome occurring alone or in combination with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. It is characterized by pain and ulceration due to vasospasm in response to cold and stress, most often affecting the digits. Although pharmacologic treatment for this condition exists, it is not always efficacious. Our case series demonstrates the use of abobotulinum toxin A in the treatment of RP. We report the cases of four patients who received injections of abobotulinum toxin A to treat their mild to severe RP symptoms. They experienced clinical improvement for up to one year after treatment.
