摘要
During the initial consultation, the patient is introduced to the five basic treatment options, acknowledging that in most cases, the choice is in the patient’s control. Th options are 1) supportive/social treatment, 2) physical therapies, 3) oral and intrathecal pharmacotherapy, 4) injection (botulinum toxin type A [BTX-A]) therapy, and 5) surgical therapy. Although a patient may be an obvious candidate for a specific intervention, the patient needs to be aware of the options, including those that he or she chooses not to use. Combination therapies are often appropriate.
