Article Synopsis
- A study compared the efficacy and safety of 400 units (U) vs. 240 U of onabotulinumtoxinA for treating upper limb spasticity in post-stroke patients, focusing on muscle tone reduction and functional improvements.
- Both doses were injected in the forearm, with the 400 U group receiving an additional injection in the elbow, leading to greater muscle tone reduction in that area while both groups showed similar outcomes for wrists and fingers.
- The study confirmed that the 400 U dose is effective and well-tolerated, providing valuable data for the optimal use of onabotulinumtoxinA in clinical practice without new safety concerns identified.
