SURGERY VS BOTULINUM TOXIN ON QUALITY OF LIFE IN STROKE PATIENTS: RANDOMIZED TRIAL

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.
