Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Dermatology Life Quality Index Score System. 2. EMG Readings to look for the efficacy of the Botulinum toxin: A) RMS : Root Mean square of bin of contraction, with 100ms envelope window B) MVIC: Maximum voluntary isometric contraction C) SNR:Signal to Noise ratio D) Integral absolute value : Time domain assessement E) MDF:Median power frequency F) Inertial measurement: Accelerometer, Gyrometer.Timepoint: baseline-at the time of intervention. At 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after the procedure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
