Can Botox Treat Corticobasal Degeneration?
My friend has corticobasal degeneration. He is 59, was in relatively good help till this spring. He has been to MAYO clinic and they diagnosed him. They said speech n physical therapy is about it.. We have a friend in Germany who had botox for paralysis, is this a possible treatment for him?

Hello,
If he has spastic paralysis, botulinum toxin injection may help with that. However, this possibility should be evaluated by a Neurologist who can examine the patient.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
