Background The anti-spasticity efficacy of botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection has been well established for patients with chronic stroke; however, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), i.e. focused shockwave (FSW) and radial shockwave (RSW), has recently been applied. We aimed to investigate the comparative effectiveness of BoNT vs. ESWT in the reduction of spasticity among stroke survivors.
