PM&R, 10/02/09
Elovic EP et al. – This article will discuss many of the key concepts regarding chemodenervation and neurolysis in the management of spasticity. During the last 2 decades, the addition of botulinum toxin chemodenervation as an adjunct to traditional neurolysis, medication, and therapy modalities has expanded the field of treatment of intramuscular hyperactivity in upper motor neuron syndrome. The technique of diagnostic blocks as predictors of response and the therapeutic value of nerve blocks will be discussed.
