It contributes to pain, insomnia, and fatigue; can interfere with mobility,transfers, self-care, activities <strong>of</strong> daily living, and social functioning; and increases caregiver burden.This activity will discuss the pathophysiology and definition <strong>of</strong> spasticity to aide in patientevaluation, assess the usefulness and limitations <strong>of</strong> various scales used for evaluation, anddescribe available treatments and clinically relevant distinctions in dosing and bioavailabilitybetween chemodenervation agents that are available for the management <strong>of</strong> spasticity inadults and children to help clinicians improve patient quality <strong>of</strong> life.Target AudienceThis activity is designed for physiatrists, neurologists, and allied health pr<strong>of</strong>essionals whotreat patients with spasticity. No prerequisites required.Learning ObjectivesAfter attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:• Discuss evaluation and treatment goals in patients with spasticity.• Develop treatment algorithms for adults and children with localized and generalized spasticity.• Identify appropriate muscles for injection in various upper motor neuron syndromes.• Describe available treatments and clinically relevant distinctions in dosing and bioavailabilitybetween chemodenervation agents available for the management <strong>of</strong> spasticity in adultsand children.The Johns Hopkins University School <strong>of</strong> Medicine takes responsibility for the content, quality,and scientific integrity <strong>of</strong> this CME activity.This activity has been approved for 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit.continues next page

Multimodalpharmacologic therapy is based on an understanding <strong>of</strong> the underlying pain mechanisms. It combinesanalgesics from different drug classes with different mechanisms <strong>of</strong> action. The goal <strong>of</strong> such therapyis to improve efficacy <strong>of</strong> treatment due to additive or synergistic action <strong>of</strong> these agents, with thepotential for using lower doses with fewer side effects. Combining drugs for multimodal therapyraises the possibility <strong>of</strong> drug-drug interactions, especially in patients with comorbidities. Thefundamentals <strong>of</strong> drug metabolism will be discussed, particularly the P450 system which isresponsible for the metabolism <strong>of</strong> 40% to 50% <strong>of</strong> all medications. If opioids are selected aspart <strong>of</strong> multimodal pharmacological therapy, principles <strong>of</strong> safe prescribing need to be applied,including stratification <strong>of</strong> risk for opioid misuse.NON-ACADEMY53Learning ObjectivesUpon completion <strong>of</strong> this activity, clinicians should be able to:• Differentiate between acute and chronic pain syndromes, based on an understanding <strong>of</strong>pathophysiologic mechanisms <strong>of</strong> acute and chronic pain• Select the most appropriate strategy to manage an individual’s chronic pain, whichmay incorporate a multimodal approach• Implement strategies that minimize risk <strong>of</strong> abuse and limit adverse effects <strong>of</strong> analgesics,including opioidsThis activity has been approved for 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit.FacultyMichael Brennan, MDSteven Stanos, DOTodd W.
