Vibration Healing + Botulinum Toxin Type A

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Botulinum Toxin Type A is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Vibration Healing is a treatment: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Botulinum Toxin Type A is prescribed for: Botox is approved to treat a wide range of conditions in adults and some children. These include overactive bladder (OAB) with urge incontinence, urinary incontinence caused by nerve-related bladder overactivity (in adults and in children aged 5 and older), prevention of headaches in adults with chronic migraine (15 or more headache days per month), muscle stiffness (spasticity) in patients aged 2 and older, cervical dystonia (abnormal head position and neck pain), severe underarm sweating (primary axillary hyperhidrosis) when topical treatments haven't worked, eyelid spasms (blepharospasm) in patients aged 12 and older, and crossed eyes (strabismus) in patients aged 12 and older. BOTOX Cosmetic is a separate product containing the same active ingredient but with its own approved cosmetic uses. Both products are given by injection and are not interchangeable with other botulinum toxin products.

Vibration Healing has been studied for:

• Neck pain studied, not established Vibration Healing has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

  Vibration Healing for neck pain

  It is unclear if mechanical vibration therapy is beneficial for chronic neck pain.

• Urinary incontinence studied, not established Vibration Healing has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

  Vibration Healing for urinary incontinence

  Although there is interest in using vibration therapy for urinary incontinence, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of vibration therapy for this purpose.

• Spinal cord injury studied, not established Vibration Healing has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

  Vibration Healing for spinal cord injury

  Although there is interest in using vibration therapy for spinal cord injury, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of vibration therapy for this purpose.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Botulinum Toxin Type A on your own; if you are taking Vibration Healing for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

These are real questions from readers, answered by the pharmacists at HelloPharmacist — written by a person, not generated from a database. Each one covers Vibration Healing or Botulinum Toxin Type A, not necessarily both, but if one is close to what you were about to ask it will usually go further than a database entry can:
