Official Title: A Double-blind Randomised Controlled Trial Investigating the Most Efficacious Dose of Botulinum Toxin-A for Sialorrhoea Treatment in Asian Adults With Neurological Disease

Brief Summary: The efficacy of Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) in Asian population has not been properly studied and there is no literature available on the most efficacious dose of BoNT-A for sialorrhoea treatment. This research is aimed to find the dose of Dysport® that would be efficacious without treatment-related adverse events and the duration of effectiveness of the drug for sialorrhea treatment in Malaysian patients. The efficacy, safety, tolerability and adverse effects of three doses of Dysport®(50MU, 100MU and 200MU) are examined at 2,6,12 and 24 weeks post injection in this double-blinding, randomized trial.
