Extract

Botulinum toxin has rapidly gained wide acceptance as a treatment for focal spasticity, and is becoming more readily available. Early studies established its effectiveness, but many issues are still open for discussion. After a brief review of the historical and scientific development of botulinum toxin as a clinical tool and an outline of previous work in the field, some important questions are discussed in the light of more recent trials.
