Intra-muscular Botulinum Toxin A in Chronic Athletic Pubalgia

Chronic athletic pubalgia is a frequent sport condition in which the effectiveness of medical treatment has not been proven. Intra-muscular injection of botulinum toxin A may have positive effects on pain in some chronic tendinitis. The investigators hypothesized that similar analgesic effect of intra-muscular botulinum toxin A may be observed in individuals with chronic AP. In the present study, the investigators aimed to describe the short-term evolution of pain and of activity limitations and quality of life, after an injection of the adductor longus with botulinum toxin A, in individuals with chronic AP, for whom medical and/or surgical treatments have failed.
