Estimating the cost consequence of the early use of botulinum toxin in post-stroke spasticity: Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Treating spasticity early in stroke patients at risk of contractures with botulinum toxin leads to a significant reduction in contracture costs. The cost per improvement of Barthel and Action Research Arm Test indicates that the intervention costs less and is more effective.TRIAL REGISTRATION DATA: EudraCT(2010-021257-39) and ClinicalTrials.gov-Identifier:NCT01882556.PMID:36325678 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221133522

Can the early use of botulinum toxin in post stroke spasticity reduce contracture development? A randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: BoNTA reduced spasticity and contractures after stroke and effects lasted for approximately 12-weeks. BoNTA reduced the need for concomitant contracture treatment and did not interfere with recovery of arm function.
