Paper of the Month
Paper of the month: Botulinum toxin is effective for neuropathic pain
June 6, 2016For June 2016 we have selected: Safety and efficacy of repeated injections of botulinum toxin A in peripheral neuropathic pain (BOTNEP): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Attal N, et al. Lancet Neurol 2016;15:555-565. The treatment of neuropathic pain is very challenging for neurologists and pain specialists since pain medications often have important adverse events or are partially effective. Botulinum toxin type A has been successfully used for many years to treat dystonia, spasticity, and other disorders with muscle hyperactivity. -

Prof. David B. Vodušek (DV): The European Association of Neurosurgical Societies’ structure is somehow similar to that of the EAN as both societies have European member societies as well as individual members worldwide. Can you please illustrate to the EANpages readers how the EANS structures its work with the member societies? Prof. Andre Grotenhuis (AG): Originally founded in 1971 as a federation of the national neurosurgical societies of Europe, the EANS embarked upon an individual membership programme some twelve years ago.
