Current Treatment Options: General

Current treatment options in the patient with spasticity include:

• Physical therapy
• Oral/systemic agents
• Nerve blocks
• Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BTX-A)
• Intrathecal baclofen
• Neuro-orthopaedic interventions
• Neurosurgical interventions 

In most instances, the child’s interests are best served by an approach that integrates these various options rather than relying on a sequential approach.
