POSB90 Healthcare Resource Utilization and Costs in Adult Patients with Spasticity: A Matched Cohort Analysis
Spasticity is abnormal muscle tightness due to muscle contraction associated with damage to the brain, spinal cord, or motor nerves, and is seen in individuals with neurological etiologies such as cerebral palsy (CP), multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, or injuries to the central nervous system (CNS). Spasticity affects more than 12 million individuals worldwide. This analysis evaluated incremental healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs in adult patients with spasticity and either CP, MS, stroke, or CNS injury (cases) versus a random sample of patients without spasticity (controls) over a 1-year period from a U.S.

New dimensions in the treatment of muscle spasticity after stroke and nervous system defects
(E ö tv ö s Lor á nd University (ELTE), Faculty of Science) Chronic muscle spasticity after nervous system defects like stroke, traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis and painful low back pain affect more than 10% of the population, with a socioeconomic cost of about 500 billion USD. Currently, there is no satisfying remedy to help these suffering people, which generates an immense medical need for a new generation antispastic drug. Drug candidate MPH-220 could mean new hope for millions of patients suffering from spasticity.
