Although onabotulinum neurotoxin A remained effective throughout the entire treatment course, there is less effect of subsequent onabotulinum neurotoxin A injections compared to the first. Although there might be a loss of effect after repeated injections, there is continued improvement for most children. What this paper adds Repeated injections show a diminished treatment effect after the second injection. A continued improvement is seen in most patients.
