ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed according to the present invention a method for the control of autonomic nerve function in a mammal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of botulinum toxin to the mammal. Preferred embodiments include administering the toxin to control the function of an autonomic nerve which contributes to at least one symptom of rhinorrhea, otitis media, excessive salivation, asthma, COPD, excessive stomach acid secretion, spastic colitis or excessive sweating.
