Muscle Spasticity
Muscle spasticity is a medical condition characterized by abnormal and painful continuous muscle stiffness, spasms and involuntary contractions, which often result from damage to the brain, spinal cord or motor nerves. It affects over 12 million people worldwide, including eight in 10 patients with cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis, as well as stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors.1 The condition can be hard to diagnose, but imaging tests and neurological exams can potentially provide information on its source.
Common symptoms of muscle spasticity can vary from mild stiffness of muscles to painful and uncontrollable spasms, and can include fatigue, muscle and joint deformations and difficulty with movement like walking. Treatment often requires a team approach to reduce muscle stiffness and improve mobility through non-surgical and surgical interventions such as physical therapy, medications and medical devices (like intrathecal pumps), and surgery.
Pentec Health understands that pain due to muscle spasticity can be debilitating and life-altering. Our multi-disciplinary approach to care helps relieve the burden of travel and waiting time for patients and ensures refills are on time, every time. We accomplish this by partnering with each patient’s provider every step of the way, supporting best-in-class care with our expertly trained specialty care nurses and infusion pharmacists, with a patient services team to help streamline the referral, intake and insurance coverage processes.
