Management strategies for adult spasticity include physical and pharmacological therapies, as well as surgery in severe or intractable cases. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is a recommended pharmacological option for patients with spasticity, and its anti-spastic effects have been demonstrated in stroke and central nervous system lesions, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. The aim of this study is to understand the burden of BoNT-A treatment from the patient perspective, in terms of impact on activities of daily living and quality of life.
