Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of phenol block and botulinus toxin type A in the treatment of spastic foot after stroke: a randomized, double-blind trial.
TL;DR: It is concluded that both motor point injections with botulinus toxin Type A and tibial nerve blockade with phenol are effective in plantar flexor spasticity, but the changes were more significant in the group that receivedBotulinus toxins Type A at Weeks 2 and 4, whereas there was not a significant difference between the two groups at Weeks 8 and 12.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of action of phenol block and botulinus toxin Type A in relieving spasticity: electrophysiologic investigation and follow-up.
TL;DR: The findings suggested that botulinus toxin Type A injection decreases spasticity primarily by affecting the fusimotor system and muscle spindle, and the involvement of the alpha-motor fibers within the tibial nerve is the most likely factor contributing to the reduction of spasticities after phenol blockade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local heat effect on sympathetic skin responses after pain of electrical stimulus
TL;DR: Therapeutic local heat application reduces the sudomotor response to a painful stimulus and may be due to suppression of cortical pain sensation resulting from increased levels of endorphins, and may also be a result of local inhibition of both afferent and efferent C fibres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tourniquet paralysis after primary nerve repair.
TL;DR: This preliminary report suggests that tourniquet paralysis should be considered during clinical and electrophysiologic evaluations after primary nerve repairs.
