Botox is not just for getting rid of unwanted wrinkles. The numbing procedure may be linked to help smooth the way for asthma sufferers, and is currently in a trial to treat people suffering from the condition. From the Telegraph:
The trial follows a recent survey by the university which found about half of severe asthmatics suffer problems with their voice box as well as their lungs. The problems were similar to vocal cord dysphonia – or loss of voice through overuse – a condition which Botox is frequently used to fix.
Under the trial, which is a world's first, thirty asthma sufferers will have the treatment.
Researchers hope the jabs will allow the muscles to relax and remove any sensation of breathlessness
