简要总结
Nocturnal calf cramps is a common complaint in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin A injection into the gastrocnemius muscle in lumbar spinal stenosis patients receiving conservative therapy. We will compare pain score, insomnia severity, functional ability, patient satisfaction, and neurophysiological variables change using electrical stimulator between control (conservative management for spinal stenosis) and botox group (conservative management for spinal stenosis plus botox injection into the gastrocnemius muscle).
