Alcohol Motor Blocks: Case Series and a Narrative Review

Alcohol neurolysis and intramuscular blocks are interventions for spasticity management. Here, we illustrate two clinical cases with spasticity impeding ease of care and pain which required selective alcohol intramuscular blocks with alcohol neurolysis. Post-interventions, both cases demonstrated improvement in pain and joint range of motion which facilitated better positioning and reduced caregiver burden. Pertinent learning points from alcohol neurolysis with intramuscular blocks are discussed concerning therapeutic effectiveness and intervention safety.
