ABSTRACT

Contexto: A neurotoxina botulínica tipo A é freqüentemente usada no tratamento de rugas de expressão faciais.Objetivo: Avaliar a eficácia e segurança de Dysport® no tratamento de linhas de expressão glabelares.Métodos: Estudo clínico aberto, randomizado e prospectivo, envolvendo 29 pacientes com rugas glabelares de moderadas a grave. As pacientes receberam injeções intramuscularmente de Dysport® nesses locais e foram acompanhadas por até 180 dias após a injeção. Avaliações dos resultados foram feitas de acordo com a classificação do médico, quanto à gravidade das linhas glabelares ao franzimento máximo e em repouso, e avaliação da melhoria de acordo com as pacientes. Resultados: Foram arroladas 29 pacientes e 27 delas concluíram o estudo. Houve redução, estatisticamente significante, na gravidade das rugas glabelares com Dysport®. Não houve ocorrência de efeitos colaterais.Conclusões: O tratamento com Dysport® é seguro e eficaz na diminuição das rugas dinâmicas glabelares.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effective and safe dose of Dysport(R) (one of the commercial botulinum toxins) for relieving the spasticity of calf muscle in cerebral palsy. METHOD: Twenty spastic cerebral palsy children (34 limbs) were randomly assigned to a high dose (HD; 16 Unit/kg/limb) injection group and low dose (LD; 8 Unit/kg/limb) injection group. Locomotor rating scale (LRS) and para meters of 3 dimensional gait analysis including ankle dorsiflexion angle at stance phase (MADA), maximal dynamic gastrocnemius (MDGL) and soleus length (MDSL) were assessed before, 4 weeks after, and 12 weeks after injection. RESULTS: Mean LRS, MADAs, MDGLs and MDSLs were significantly increased both 4 and 12 weeks after injection in HD group. In LD group, LRS, MADAs, MDGLs and MDSLs showed some improvement but they were statistically insignificant. The high dose had no adverse effect except the mild and transient weakness, which was tolerable to the cerebral palsy patients. CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrated the high dose injection of Dysport was more effective than the low dose injection to relieve the spasticity of calf muscle in cerebral palsy.
