Ua hana ʻo Co-Founder a me Luna Nui ʻo Dr. Eric Finzi i nā poʻomanaʻo honua i ka wā i hoʻopuka ai ʻo ia i ka hoʻāʻo mua e hōʻike ana i ka pono o ka botulinum toxin i ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi depressive nui (MDD) ma 2006. Ma hope mai, ua hōʻike ʻia nā hoʻokolohua lapaʻau ʻelima Phase II i ka maikaʻi o ka botulinum toxin e like me he lapaau no ke kaumaha.
Ke ʻimi nei ka ʻoihana e hoʻolalelale i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka botulinum toxin ma ke ʻano he koho lapaʻau psychiatric no ke kaumaha. Ma luna o 19 miliona ʻAmelika e loaʻa ana i ke kaumaha, me ka 280 miliona mau hihia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, e like me ka World Health Organization (WHO). Ma ka huli ʻana i nā ala neuromuscular ʻē aʻe ma mua o nā lāʻau lapaʻau o kēia manawa, ʻimi ʻo Healis e hoʻomohala i nā koho lapaʻau hou. Ma nā haʻawina Phase II, hoʻokomo ʻia ka toxin botulinum ma ka ʻāina glabellar a me nā ʻiʻo frown, me ka corrugator a me ka procerus. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Botulinum toxin e mālama i ke kaumaha ma o ke ʻano manaʻo manaʻo ma waena o nā ʻiʻo maka a me ka lolo.
ʻO ka botulinum toxin i kēia manawa ua ʻae ʻia ʻo FDA no ka migraine mau, cervical dystonia, a me axillary hyperhidrosis, ma waena o nā hōʻailona olakino ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka hoʻonui nui ʻana o ka botulinum toxin i ka lāʻau lapaʻau hou e kū nei ma luna o ʻelua mau makahiki o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻoihana hoʻonaninani.
Hoʻokuʻu: Ma ka lā 23 Dekemaba 2021, ʻaʻole he lāʻau lapaʻau FDA i ʻae ʻia ka botulinum toxin no ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi depressive nui (MDD), ke kaumaha bipolar, a i ʻole ka maʻi koʻikoʻi post-traumatic (PTSD). ʻO ka toxin botulinum no ka MDD, ke kaumaha bipolar, a me ka PTSD aia ma lalo o ka hoʻohana noiʻi wale ʻana a ʻaʻole i loaʻa no ka hoʻolaha pāʻoihana.
