Patient centred outcomes with botulinum toxin treatment in adult spasticity and cervical dystonia:
“What happens with repeat treatment in the real world?”
Chairman:
Professor Dominic Pérennou
Speakers:
Professor Lynne Turner-Stokes
Doctor Jorge Jacinto
Professor Carlo Colosimo
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to attend the sponsored symposium Patient centred outcomes with botulinum toxin treatment in adult spasticity and cervical dystonia. What happens with repeat treatment in the real world? at the TOXINS 2021 Virtual congress.
Although not a new concept, ‘patient-centred care’ attracts attention as it advocates a shift from disease-oriented management to a treatment plan that is “respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.”1 When applying a focal treatment such as botulinum toxin, patient centricity must be considered a driving force of treatment, such that the injection plan is always appropriately tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences. Data from well-designed RCTs can inform our treatment decisions up to a point, but we must also consider the patient perspective and the realities of routine practice.
We have a distinguished panel of speakers, including Jorge Jacinto from Portugal, Professor Lynne Turner-Stokes from the UK and Professor Carlo Colosimo from Italy who will present findings from large, international patient surveys and observational studies, exploring the use of botulinum toxins in both spasticity and cervical dystonia. Although the patient populations are different, there are some striking commonalities that we can learn from by sharing experiences.
I look forward to hosting you on the 17th January 2021.
