Ironing out facial wrinkles with Botox is only one of its actual uses.
Medical researchers continue finding new uses for Botox -- which leads the pack of noninvasive procedures with 3.9 million uses in 2006. It’s now a good treatment for relieving writers’ cramp.

Botox Injections

Researchers at UT Southwestern University in Dallas wanted to treat overactive bladder victims to help them regain control.

Others were MS patients, spina bifida and interstitial cystitis sufferers who, well, hey, you’ve got the idea by now. An associate professor of urology uses Botox to stop the leaks and embarrassing incidents. More.
