Methods 74 stroke patients with upper limbs spasticity were divided into treatment group (n=36)and control group (n=38). The control group received BTX-A injection, and the treatment group received massage after injection. Both groups received rehabilitation training after injection and were assessed with modified Ashworth scale, Fugl-Meyer assessment and modified Barthel index before and 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment. Results All the scores of assessments improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.001), and there was no significant difference between them (P>0.05).
