Botox could ease depression in addition to wrinkles, study finds

Updated July 30, 2020

Botox injections may do more than erase the signs of age, or prevent you from feeling painful migraines — they may alleviate depression as well, a new study confirms.

一项新的研究证实，注射肉毒杆菌素不仅可以消除衰老的迹象，也可以防止偏头痛，还可以缓解抑郁症。

Doctors inject Botox to smooth facial wrinkles and treat health problems such as severe sweating, uncontrollable blinking, chronic migraines, overactive bladders and neurological disorders that cause muscle contractions and pain in the neck and shoulders.

医生注射肉毒杆菌素来抚平面部皱纹，并治疗严重出汗、无法控制的眨眼、慢性偏头痛、膀胱过度活跃以及导致肌肉收缩和颈肩疼痛的神经系统紊乱等健康问题。

Botox, a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, works by weakening or paralyzing specific muscles or by blocking certain nerves.

肉毒杆菌是一种由肉毒梭菌产生的毒素制成的药物，通过削弱或麻痹特定的肌肉或阻断某些神经来发挥作用。

More than 264 million people worldwide are suffering from depression. But common treatments for depression aren't effective for nearly one third of these people, even when they stick to their treatment plans and tolerate the medications, according to the study, which published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports.

全世界有超过2.64亿人患抑郁症。但根据周四发表在《科学报告》杂志上的一项研究，普通的抑郁症治疗方法对其中近三分之一的患者无效，即使他们坚持自己的治疗计划并接受药物治疗。

This shortcoming has led doctors to explore alternative treatments, such as psilocybin (the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms) doses, ketamine infusions and, more recently, Botox injections. Prior studies of the last 15 years have found that the drug might have antidepressant effects.

这一缺陷使得医生们开始探索替代疗法，如迷幻蘑菇中的活性成分“裸盖菇素”（psilocybin）、氯胺酮注射液以及最近的肉毒杆菌注射。过去15年的研究发现这种药物可能具有抗抑郁作用。
