A new study has confirmed that Botox can be effective in treating another non-cosmetic condition. According to HealthDay News, researchers from Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia have found that the injectable can help alleviate limb tremors in patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Scientists gave injections of both Botox and a placebo to 23 MS patients over a 24-week period. They found that when individuals received the shots containing the Botulinum Toxin Type A, their tremors were eased and they were able to write and draw more effectively.
