Study: Botox Shows Cerebral Palsy Benefit
From Bloomberg News
Allergan Inc.’s Botox drug, widely used to smooth wrinkles, has lasting benefits for children with stiffened muscles because of cerebral palsy, a study found.
About 86% of children given Botox shots significantly improved, said researchers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, who reviewed records of 250 children treated over the last decade at the hospital.
Shares of Allergan, which didn’t fund the study, rose 80 cents to $69.80 on the NYSE.
