The present study quantifies the effect of the two botulinum toxin type A products, Xeomin and Dysport, with approval from the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices of Romania (ANMDMR), for the treatment of the spastic upper limb following a stroke. The results obtained in the present study show a good efficiency of using both products in the spasticity of the upper limb, and a maintenance of the results obtained for both products for a minimum period of 3 months. Also, at higher doses, the results of the study show better improvement of spasticity and upper limb function on the evaluation scales, but the local effect is not maintained for a longer period.
