Optimizing Focal Spasticity Treatment: Targeting Symptom Re-emergence
The management of spasticity can be complex. A common treatment for focal spasticity is botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) therapy. Breakthrough symptoms between injection intervals are distressing to patients and may have a significant impact on quality of life. This video reviews how patients are affected and discusses multi-modality approaches to managing disruptive symptoms and improving outcomes for patients.
