[The prevention of pain during botulinum toxin injections in children]. / La prévention de la douleur liée aux injections de toxine botulique chez l'enfant.

According to the recommendations of the French health products safety agency (AFSSAPS) in 2009, botulinum toxin injections are recommended to reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Apprehension of the session can increase the pain. Therefore, programmes have been put in place which help to win over the child and gain their trust. Since 2008 a nurse consultation which informs the child through play has been set up in the centre for physical medicine and rehabilitation of the Association for the social and professional integration of disabled people.
