摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to neurology, and can be used in treatment of muscle spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury. For this purpose botulotoxin is introduced into iliolumbar muscle under control of X-ray computer tomography. Introduction of preparation is performed by dorsal access into proximal part of iliolumbar muscle at the level of LII-LIII vertebrae, 2-3 cm more laterally than spinous process. Depth of introduction is 8-10 cm. ^ EFFECT: method makes it possible to ensure efficient relief of local spasticity of iliolumbar muscle with absence of botulotoxin effect on other groups of muscles due to accurate introduction of preparation into definite region of said muscle. ^ 2 ex
