Trends in spasticity-reducing surgery and botulinum toxin treatment for post-stroke spasticity: a register study on 6,258 patients in Sweden, 2010–2021
The frequency of BoNT-A treatments was significantly reduced in patients who underwent surgery. Even though no causative association can be established due to the nature of these registry data, this may indicate that surgery reduces the need for further BoNT-A treatments.
