Abstract
Treatment and Management of Spasticity Abstract. In the care of neurological patients with a lesion of the first motor neuron, for example after stroke or multiple sclerosis, spasticity is a common problem with considerable impairment of quality of life. The treatment is based in the first place on therapeutic and nursing interventions. In addition, a systemic antispastic medication or, depending on the distribution of the spasticity, local injections with botulinum neurotoxin can be applied. If this is insufficient, surgical procedures may be considered.
