Ten patients with cerebral palsy (CP) were treated with botox (botulinum toxin, type A). The next forms of the disease were observed in the patients: a spastic dysplegia, a spastic hemiplegia, a spastic-hyperkinetic form of CP. Botox was injected into the damaged muscles in a dose of 100-300 Units. Therapeutical effect was found in 90% of the patients, an average duration of the medical effect was 6-12 months. Because of the small cohort of the patients treated with botox there was made a preliminary conclusion about the high efficiency and safety of botox for CP treatment. The need of further clinical observations was emphasized.
