Toxina botulínica tipo A en espasticidad. Revisión Sistemática.

Abstract

[ES] El trabajo pretende reunir evidencias científicas contrastadas que determinen la efectividad de la toxina botulínica tipo A en pacientes con espasticidad focal. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados y controlados en las bases de datos de PEDro, Pubmed, WOS y Scopus con las palabras clave “Botulinum Toxin Type A”, “Physiotherapy” y “Spasticity”. Se seleccionaron estudios publicados desde 2006 hasta la fecha, en inglés y español. Para evaluar la calidad de los estudios se emplearon las escalas PEDro y Jadad. Se encontramos 309 artículos iniciales, de los cuales 15 cumplieron finalmente todos los criterios de inclusión. Sus principales variables de estudio fueron: espasticidad, capacidad motora y funcionalidad. Se demostró que existe suficiente evidencia científica que demuestra la efectividad de la toxina botulínica tipo A en pacientes con espasticidad focal, independientemente de su etiología. No obstante, se necesitan estudios con más número de pacientes que confirmen estas conclusiones.

[EN] The present work has the purpose of gather the main scientific evidences which determine the effectiveness of Botulinum Toxin Type A in patients with focal spasticity. The author realized a systematic research of randomized clinical trials in the databases PEDro, Pubmed, WOS and Scopus using the keywords “Botulinum Toxin Type A”, “Physiotherapy” and “Spasticity”. Studies published since 2006 to nowadays, in English and Spanish, were selected. PEDro and Jadad scales were used in order to evaluate the quality of the studies. Results: We found initially 309 studies, of which 15 finally met all inclusion criteria. Their main outcome measurements were: spasticity, motor function and functionality. There was enough scientific evidence that demonstrate the effectiveness of botulinum toxin type A in patients with focal spasticity, independently of its etiology. However, further studies with more subjects are necessary to confirm these conclusions.
