No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether Dysport® is effective in the treatment of increased stiffness of the calf muscles and to evaluate the safety of this treatment in children with Cerebral Palsy. In addition this study will also check whether Dysport® can lessen the pain caused by spasticity and improve the child's wellbeing.
