The purposes of this pilot study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Botox® compared to the safety and efficacy of oral baclofen in reducing muscle tone-related disability resulting from neurological damage or a stable neurological disorder and to evaluate drug-therapy tolerance.

Conditions

  • Spasticity

Interventions

DRUG

intramuscular Botox versus oral baclofen

Each vial of Botox contains 100 units of Clostridium botulinum toxin type A, 0.5 mg albumin (human) and 0.9 mg sodium chloride in a sterile, vacuum-dried form without a preservative. Botox placebo is sterile normal saline (without preservatives) for injection. Baclofen is supplied as 10 mg tablets for oral administration. Inactive ingredients include colloidal anhydrous silica, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, povidone, wheat starch. Baclofen placebo tablets are composed of microcrystalline cellulose binder (99%), magnesium stearate 0.5%, and silica gel 0.5% and appear similar to commercial Baclofen tablets.
