Cost minimization analysis of BoNT-As in the treatment of upper limb spasticity and cervical dystonia [PDF]
, 2016 Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections are recommended for the management of upper limb spasticity (ULS) and cervical dystonia (CD). The main aim of this cost minimization analysis (CMA) was to compare the annual cost per patient for three BoNT-As ...
