Spasticity is a neurological condition that manifests as stiff, tight muscles and difficulty in controlling those muscles. It commonly appears as a symptom of various neurological disorders, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury. The underlying cause of spasticity is the disruption or damage to the regions of the brain or spinal cord that govern voluntary movement, leading to heightened stretch reflexes and increased muscle tone.
In Hyderabad, a city known for its advanced healthcare facilities, Apollo Hospitals offer comprehensive care for patients with spasticity. Our team includes highly skilled spasticity doctors and surgeons who are adept at diagnosing and treating this complex condition.
Types of Spasticity
Spasticity is classified into different types depending on the underlying cause and the part of the body affected:
-
Focal Spasticity: This primarily affects a specific muscle group or limb.
-
multifocal Spasticity: This type of spasticity affects multiple muscle groups in a particular region of the body.
-
Generalised Spasticity: In this case, the entire body is affected.
Symptoms of Spasticity
Spasticity manifests in various ways. Typical symptoms include:
-
Increased muscle tone and stiffness
-
Exaggerated reflexes
-
Muscle spasms and contractions
-
Difficulty in moving or controlling limbs
-
Pain or discomfort
-
Impaired gait and mobility
-
Difficulty with self-care tasks
Tests to Diagnose Spasticity
To diagnose spasticity, spasticity treatment doctors or spasticity disease treatment doctors may use several approaches:
-
Neurological Examination: To check nerve health
-
Electromyogram (EMG): To evaluate muscle activity
-
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan: To get detailed images of the brain and spinal cord
-
Computerised Tomography (CT) Scan: To view the brain and spinal cord
-
Blood Tests: To rule out other conditions
Treatment or Surgery Options for Spasticity at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad
At Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad, we offer a range of treatment options for spasticity, tailored to the individual's needs and health status by some of the best doctors and surgeons for spasticity treatment.
-
Medications: Oral medications like baclofen, tizanidine, and benzodiazepines can be used to reduce muscle stiffness and spasms. Sometimes, botulinum toxin injections may be administered.
-
Intrathecal Baclofen Therapy: This involves delivering baclofen (a muscle relaxant) directly to the spinal cord through a surgically implanted pump.
-
Physical and Occupational Therapy: Therapies incorporating stretching and range-of-motion exercises can enhance mobility and lessen muscle tightness.
-
Surgical Options: In severe cases, surgical intervention may be considered.
