Studies from Aldo Moro University Add New Findings in the Area of Stiff Person Syndrome (The Effectiveness of Combining Botulinum Toxin Type A and Therapeutic Exercise in Treating Spasticity in a Patient with Complicated Stiff-Person Syndrome:...).

A recent study from Aldo Moro University in Bari, Italy, has explored the effectiveness of combining botulinum toxin type A and therapeutic exercise in treating spasticity in a patient with complicated Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS). SPS is a rare autoimmune condition that primarily affects women, with no racial predisposition. The study found that the combined therapy of botulinum toxin and therapeutic exercise had excellent results in a 65-year-old patient, with benefits lasting for more than six months and no side effects. This research provides valuable insights into potential treatment options for individuals with SPS. [Extracted from the article]
