Treatment of paediatric cerebral palsy with Dysport.
Dysport (Clostridium botulinum type A toxin-haemagglutin complex) has had its licence extended to include treatment of children aged 2 years and over with dynamic equinus foot deformity, caused by spasticity associated with cerebral palsy. Dysport reduces muscle tone, thus improving function, relieving pain, and facilitating physiotherapy, application and tolerability of splints.
