AbstractA systematic review with the Sachett model of evidence-based medicine of the use of Botulinum toxin type A (BTX) for intervention in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) is highlighted. Currently, the evidence showed that BTX is useful for treating pes equinus due to spasticity of the gastrocnemiussoleus muscles. However, careful patient selection and goals of treatment have to be addressed. More multi-centre clinical trials with standardized protocols are needed before widespread recommendation of the use of BTX in treating spasticity in CP can be made.
