Abstract
The use of phenol and alcohol nerve blocks in the treatment of localized muscle spasticity is well established. However, a number of questions relating to this procedure are still unanswered. This article presents experience of the effectiveness of chemical neurolysis in the treatment of severe lower limb muscle spasticity in 28 patients who had a total of 56 nerve blocks performed during a follow-up period of between four and 18 months.
