When can maximal efficacy occur with repeat botulinum toxin injection in upper limb spastic paresis?

Abstract: Repeated injection cycles with abobotulinumtoxinA, a botulinum toxin type A, are recommended in current clinical guidelines as a treatment option for adults with upper limb spastic paresis. However, the magnitude of the maximal therapeutic effect of repeated abobotulinumtoxinA treatment across different efficacy parameters and the number of injection cycles required to reach maximal effect remain to be elucidated. Here we present a post hoc exploratory analysis of a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled… Show more

“…When BoNT-A is introduced early after the onset of spasticity, pain reduction is rapid, being observed after a single BoNT-A injection ( 29 ). However, maximal efficacy in passive and active function in most patients comes later, after three to four injections ( 30 ).…”

“…Botulinum toxin therapy, movement training, as well as speech rehabilitation, most often used in rehabilitation of acquired cerebrovascular lesion in adult, could be used to limit spasticity, improve muscles recruitment capacity, and treat speech disorders with cause disability in holoprosensephaly.

“…80 The spastic component in the outcomes of brain injury could inhibit the rehabilitation activity to be practiced to stimulate plasticity and can be reduced through muscle lengthening exercises or through drugs that block neuromuscular transmission such as botulinum toxin, widely used in adult and child disabilities. 78,[80][81][82][83][84][85] Cerebral plasticity also participates in the recovery of other functions such as speech, which positively benefits from rehabilitation exercise. 79,86,87…”
