Can Botox trigger Motor Neurone Disease (MND)? In both Botox and MND, the signals are not reaching the muscles. Does Botox work the same way that a muscle aggravating disease does?
Answer: Botox does not damage the nerves Botox does not damage the nerve that travels in the spine. Botox merely acts as a physical blocker in the space between the end of the nerve and the muscle. It prevents the terminal section of the nerve from transmitting the signal to the muscle to contract. When the Botox wears off, which it always does, the nerve ending can send the signal again and the muscle contracts. The nerve does not get permanently impaired.

Answer: No causal connection between Botox and MND Motor neuron diseases are conditions in which degeneration of the nerves that stimulate muscles to contract are affected. An example of this is Lou Gehrig's disease. Neuromuscular diseases including Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia Gravis and Eaton-Lambert syndrome are contraindications to using Botox, but to my knowledge, have not been triggered by Botox.
