I am looking for statistics on the prevalence of disorders that are
treatable with Botulinum Type A.  These disorders include: {*filter*}
dyskinesia, meige syndrome, hemi{*filter*} spasm, apraxia of eyelid openeing,
aberrant regeneration of the {*filter*} nerve, {*filter*} paralysis, strabismus,
spasmodic torticollis, muscle spasm, occupational dystonia (i.e. writers
cramp, etc.), spasmodic dysphonia, and temp{*filter*}mandibular joint disease.

I realize many of the disorders I listed (such as "muscle spasm" !!) are
vaguely defined and may encompass a wide range of particular disorders.  My
apologies; the list was provided to me as is.  I have some numbers, but not
reliable.  

Any ideas on sources or, even bbetter, any actual figures (with source
listed)?

Many thanks,

- Meg
