Botulinum toxin in painful tardive dyskinesia.
An 81-year-old female patient with a 12-year history of lingual pain associated to tongue and jaw involuntary movements secondary to long-term neuroleptic intake was observed. She received several pharmacological therapies without major improvement or side effects. Treatment with botulinum toxin type A markedly benefited both pain and lingual dyskinesia.
