AB Since  the  1980s,  botulinum  toxins  (BTX)  have  been  used  for  many  putative  conditions  that  cause  pain.  The  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA)  has  not  yet  approved  their  use  for  any  specific  pain  disorders,  although  two  forms  of  BTX  (A  and  B)  have  been  approved  by  the  FDA  for  other  medical  conditions  associated  with  pain  and  discomfort.  However,  BTX  continues  to  be  used  successfully  by  a  range  of  specialists  to  address  pain  control.
