Abstract
Introduction: #Cerebral palsy (CP) is known as a clinical
syndrome that occurs following a breakdown to the motor areas of the
immature brain. Therapeutic options include the injection of BTX-A.
Study Objectives: the main objective of the present study is
to investigate the impact of BTX-A injection on the #spasticity scores of
children with CP.
Methods and Subjects: A prospective study design was conducted
from January 2017 to June 2018 at Royal Rehabilitation Center. A total
of 128 children with CP were included. Children with were treated with
BTX-A and followed for 3 and 6 months. At basal level, #demographical and
clinical data were recorded. Data included age, gender, and spasticity
scores. Spasticity scores were determined using Modified #Ashworth Scale
pre and post injections.
Study Results: The age mean was 8.73±5.70 years. The score of
spasticity at basal level was 3.34±0.67, and then it was decreased
further after three months follow up and reached 1.27±0.99. The
spasticity score was further increased to the level of 3.07±0.86 after 6
months follow up.
