"Because acquired spasticity is dynamic and usually improves slowly, a temporary treatment method used to ameliorate increased muscle tone is desirable."6.39Treatment of acquired muscle spasticity using phenol peripheral nerve blocks. ( Abrams, RA; Bodine-Fowler, SC; Botte, MJ, 1995)

"Techniques to temporarily reduce spasticity include the implantation of a MicroPort reservoir and catheter for repeated branchial plexus blocks and phenol nerve blocks, which provide longer lasting relief of noxious muscle tone."2.37Management of the spastic upper extremity in the neurologically impaired adult.

Trial Outcomes

Dynamic Component of Spasticity (Spasticity Angle)

According to the Modified Tardieu Scale, the difference between the angle of slow passive motion and the angle of muscle reaction represents the dynamic component of spasticity (spasticity angle) in degree. A big difference suggests spasticity while the low difference suggests muscular contracture. In this study, dynamic component of spasticity (spasticity angle) at forearm pronation, neutral position and supination was evaluated separately. (NCT03563209)
Timeframe: 1 day (Only one measurement was performed in time (cross-sectional))
