Key Points

  • The review aims to assess the evidence surrounding the use of botulinum toxin for managing spasticity in spinal cord injury.
  • Conducted a scoping review of existing literature
  • Evaluated the quality and consistency of evidence
  • Identified gaps in research methodologies
  • Found evidence on botulinum toxin for spasticity is limited and varied
  • Highlighted the need for standardized definitions and goals
  • Emphasized the importance of patient involvement in future research

Abstract

Evidence on BoNT for SCI-related spasticity is scarce, heterogeneous, and methodologically weak. Future research should adopt consensus definitions, involve patients in goal setting, apply SCI-specific outcomes, and report protocols transparently to guide practice.
