Botulinum toxin injections in the treatment of musician's dystonia
Neurol 64:341-343, Schuele, S., et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors present the results of 84 musicians with focal task-specific dystonia treated with EMG-guided botulinum toxin injections. Treatment outcome was assessed by subjective estimation of playing before and after treatment and self-rating of treatment response. Fifty-eight (69%) of the musicians experienced improvement from the injections and 30 of 84 musicians (36%) reported long-term benefit in their performance ability.
