Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Botulinum Toxin in Neuro-Rehabilitation: Expanding Horizons", will explore the evolving role of botulinum neurotoxin in neuro-rehabilitation practices. Current research highlights botulinum neurotoxin’s therapeutic potential beyond its traditional applications in managing spasticity, focusing on its effects on pain management, quality of life and other relevant outcomes in various neurological conditions characterized by spasticity. However, significant challenges remain, including optimizing dose, achieving better goals, developing strategies to pinpoint spasticity earlier and treating it sooner.
This Special Issue is devoted to all the above themes, with a particular focus on the fields of neurology, neurorehabilitation and pain medicine. Randomized controlled trials, original reports, innovative and informative case studies or series, systematic reviews and meta-analyses in human populations, as well as experimental studies in animal models, are all welcome.
