Spasticity in practice (SPACE): an international non-interventional study of botulinum neurotoxin type A in treatment-naïve subjects with spasticity.

Aim Of The Study: SPACE, a prospective, non-interventional, open-label, multinational study, investigated physicians' and subjects' assessment of safety, efficacy, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) treatment to understand real-world clinical usage for the management of focal and multifocal spasticity.

Clinical Rationale For The Study: Treatment guidelines recommend the use of BoNT-A for the management of spasticity in adults. This study assessed how physicians use BoNT-A therapy in real-world clinical practice, and provided evidence on long-term safety and efficacy over a period of up to 2 years.
