Safety assessed on patients’ self-reports. Efficacy by recording total duration benefit, maximum efficacy, disease severity measured means Tsui score, pain intensity evaluated visual analog scale (VAS). Thirty-nine PCD The mean dose injected 701.5 ± 280.6 U. clinical improvement 93.0 30.7 days, while 77.1 27.1 days. VAS before 4 weeks after injection 4.4 1.8 1.6, respectively. score treatment 5.7 3.5 1.5, Doses significantly increased over time, displayed a tendency decrease along time. Side effects occurred 19.6% all treatments severe only four injections. results our confirm effectiveness profile
