Application of botulin therapy in children with cerebral palsy

One of the new modern and evidence-based treatment methods in the world for cerebral palsy is botulinum therapy, which was first used in the Kyrgyz Republic on the basis of the Bishkek Research Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics in the Department of Pediatric Orthopedics in 2020. On this basis, we examined 69 children suffering from cerebral palsy who received a course of botulinum therapy in the period from 2021 to 2023. The scientific value of this work can become the basis for the further development of the botulinum toxin therapy method for children suffering from cerebral palsy, while significantly reducing orthopedic complications that often occur with this pathology, and also contribute to the development of science in the field of medicine in the country. After the use of botulinum toxin type A, changes in spasticity were assessed using the Ashworth and Motor Function Classification System scales; before and after therapy, a video and photo analysis of the patients’ range of motion was performed. As a result of the study and evaluation of the use of botulinum therapy, positive dynamics of indicators in the motor sphere were noted in children suffering from cerebral palsy
