The use of botulinum toxin for spasticity in people with spinal cord injury: a scoping review

Evidence on BoNT for SCI-related spasticity is scarce, heterogeneous, and methodologically weak. Future research should adopt consensus definitions, involve patients in goal setting, apply SCI-specific outcomes, and report protocols transparently to guide practice.

Abstract

Evidence on BoNT for SCI-related spasticity is scarce, heterogeneous, and methodologically weak. Future research should adopt consensus definitions, involve patients in goal setting, apply SCI-specific outcomes, and report protocols transparently to guide practice.
