Abstract
With the widespread use of botulinum toxin (BTX) and greater appreciation of its safety, physicians are increasingly aware of potential applications beyond dystonias, spasticity, and cosmetic denervation. Although most applications for BTX have focused on muscular denervation, autonomic denervation is currently being explored for a variety of clinical problems including excessive drooling, gustatory sweating, and hyperlacrimation. This chapter focuses on the role of BTX for uncontrolled salivation and gustatory sweating.
