SURGERY VS BOTULINUM TOXIN ON QUALITY OF LIFE IN STROKE PATIENTS: RANDOMIZED TRIAL
Sponsor: Fundación Pública Andaluza para la Investigación Biomédica Andalucía Oriental
Summary
We present a research project in the form of a controlled clinical trial with the aim of analyzing and demonstrating whether the surgical treatment of upper limb spasticity is an effective and efficient measure to improve dependence and quality of life perceived by patients with sequelae of stroke and therefore, should be included in the therapeutic protocols, in which it is not usually contemplated, as a complement or alternative to traditional treatment with botulinum toxin, rehabilitation and occupational therapy.

Conditions
Interventions
spastic hand sugery
Deformity correction can be performed with single event multilevel surgery, using a combination of soft tissue releases and lengthening, tendon transfers and joint stabilization procedures. In addition, selective and supraselective neurectomies can also be performed.
Botulinum Toxin A
Treatment consists of periodic injections of the toxin into the spastic muscles. It causes reversible chemical denervation by preventing the release of acetylcholine vesicles at the neuromuscular junctions of the affected muscles.
