Ultrasound-Guided Versus Anatomically Guided Botulinum Toxin Injection in Spasticity in Adults in Tanta University Hospitals

A Study of Ultrasound-Guided Versus Anatomically Guided Botulinum Toxin Injection in Spasticity in Adults in Tanta University Hospitals

This study aimed to compare the safety and outcome of ultrasound (US)- guided botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection and anatomically guided injection in muscle spasticity of different causes in adults.

One of the major complications of neurological diseases is spasticity which is defined as an increased velocity-dependent muscle tone.

A large volume of clinical data has demonstrated the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) products for treating conditions such as spasticity.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age > 18 years old.
• Both sexes.
• Patients with muscle spasticity.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with contraindications to botulinum toxin injection as allergy, myasthenia gravis, and cerebral palsy.
