Botox Helps in Stroke Recovery
Botox® is not just for wrinkles! Watch a video about a Memorial Hospital patient being treated with Botox for muscle spasticity caused by a stroke.

Memorial's Spasticity and Tone Management Program, directed by neurologist Mason Gasper, DO, MPH, is one of only a few in Rhode Island to offer botulinum toxin type A (Botox) to treat spasticity and limb stiffness. This treatment can help to reduce pain and to improve a patient's gait and the ability to perform activities of daily living.

Botox can also be helpful for patients with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and tremors.
