Abstract
Phenol block of peripheral nerve and of muscle selectively reduce spasticity without significantly impairing power or sensation. The technique of block under electrical control is described and our experience with these methods over three years is related. In patients with upper motor neurone lesions in whom there is residual power, function is improved, and in those with complete paralysis, posture, appearance, and comfort are improved.Keywords
