Targeting Unmet Needs in the Treatment of Focal Spasticity: CME
The management of spasticity can be complex. The common treatment for focal spasticity is botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) therapy. As the effects of BoNT-A wear off, the recurrence of symptoms can be distressing to patients and may have a significant impact on quality of life. This program describes how patients can be affected and outlines multi-modal approaches to the management of disruptive symptoms in order to improve patient outcomes.
