- Abstract
- The Sihler's stain is a whole-mount nerve staining technique that allows visualization of the nerve distribution and permits mapping of the entire nerve supply patterns of the organs, skeletal muscles, mucosa, skin, and other structures that contain myelinated nerve fibers. Unlike conventional approaches, this technique does not require extensive dissection or slide preparation. To date, the Sihler's stain is the best tool for demonstrating the precise intramuscular branching and distribution patterns of skeletal muscles. The intramuscular neural distribution is used as a guidance tool for the application of botulinum neurotoxin injections. In this review, we have identified and summarized the ideal botulinum neurotoxin injection points for several human tissues.
