botox injections in the brain

My niece recently had a stroke according to her Drs. in West Va. She has seen 5 differnet doctors in the past few weeks. They are now discussing botox injections in her brain. How can this help her? And most importantly can it make her worse?  I am from the south and do not trust the doctors in that part of the country. The only Drs. she can see can only take welfare cards and I fear they are not the best Drs. for her. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi,
New research shows that repeated treatments of botulinum toxin type A over one year after a stroke can improve muscle tone and reduce pain in the arms and hands, making it easier for patients to dress themselves and perform personal hygiene. The study found that adverse events related to treatment, such as headaches, pain in the arm or an influenza-like illness, were reported.
The article on Botox injection in the brain as mentioned by you could not found. It is something new heard by me. Can you be clear on what the physician? Consult a neurologist.
