Main study objective

To provide a further assessment of the risk / benefit of Dysport as a marketed product.

Outcomes

Global assessment of spasticity using the Modified Ashworth Scale, Patient´s Quality of Life (QOL) evaluation (DAS scale), Interval between separate administration sessions and monitoring of treatment related adverse events (RAEs).

Data analysis plan
