Neuromuscular blocking agents-45% alcohol, 4% to 6% aqueous phenol, local anesthetics, and botulinum A toxin—have been used for many years in the evaluation and management of spasticity and movement disorders in children with cerebral palsy. Recent reports suggest that longer-acting neuromuscular blocking agents may impact positively on the natural history of dynamic deformity and improve health-related quality of life. This review includes the mechanism of action, techniques, indications, complications, and clinical outcomes associated with these agents. (J Child Neurol 1996;11(Suppl 1):S23-S28).
