Spasticity Treatment Beyond Botulinum Toxins

Botulinum toxin (BonT) is the mainstream treatment option for post-stroke spasticity. BoNT therapy may not be adequate in those with severe spasticity. There are a number of emerging treatment options for spasticity management. In this paper, we focus on innovative and revived treatment options that can be alternative or complementary to BoNT therapy, including phenol neurolysis, cryoneurolysis, and extracorporeal shock wave therapy.
