Main objective

Scope: Therapy

To assess whether the technique of ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin infiltration is more effective and safer than the standard technique, by controlling the infiltration sites.
The aim is to analyze whether the location of the botulinum toxin infiltration is an important factor in the result of the treatment. percentage to assess whether the botulinum toxin infiltration is more effective and safer than the standard one.
On the other hand, the aim is to standardize a technique and make it much more precise for the localization of the infiltration, through the use of the endorectal ultrasound probe. Therefore, our objective is to establish a novel technique that complements the standard technique, is reproducible and does not increase the risks and is even safer, as it controls the site of toxin infiltration.
