I’m sure many beauty lovers have heard of BOTOX, also known as Botox, the beauty holy grail. Just a few injections on the wrinkled areas of the face and the wrinkles on the face can magically disappear in a few days. Scientists at the University of Melbourne in Australia recently announced that they are trying to use Botox to help asthma sufferers relieve their symptoms. Botox has been used as a cosmetic drug for wrinkle reduction and face slimming for about 20 years, including Nicole? Many celebrities, including Kidman, have openly admitted to using Botox. But what does this cosmetic drug have to do with the treatment of asthma? It turns out that Botox is a nerve conduction blocker, which blocks nerve impulses from nerves to muscles and is used to treat overactive muscles. As a cosmetic drug for wrinkle removal and face slimming, the basis of Botox action is to reduce facial wrinkles and muscle growth by paralyzing facial muscles and causing dysfunctional muscle atrophy. Scientists at the University of Melbourne in Australia are trying to use botulinum toxin to block nerve conduction to help asthma patients relieve their symptoms. They plan to inject botulinum toxin into the vocal cords of patients with severe asthma to help relieve the patient’s symptoms of shortness of breath and shortness of breath. The main symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, and dry cough. Patients often experience expiratory dyspnea and even cyanosis. Scientists say that botulinum toxin does not cure asthma, but they hope to use the effects of botulinum toxin to reduce the degree of vocal cord spasm in asthmatics, thereby reducing the patient’s symptoms so that they may walk long distances and go up stairs as normal. Since Botox usually wears off within three to four months, scientists can repeatedly test and compare its efficacy. Asthma is recognized as a medical problem worldwide and is listed by the World Health Organization as one of the four most persistent of diseases. In Australia, 1 in 10 people have asthma; and some figures say that there are at least 20 million asthma sufferers in China. It was revealed that the above trial at the University of Melbourne will last for 1 year, when scientists will make a formal evaluation on the efficacy of using Botox to assist in the treatment of asthma.
