Core Tip	In this overview, we describe that botulinum toxins (BTXs) were very useful to reduce spasticity in stroke patients. Moreover, we introduce studies on appropriate effective and safe injection methods; pilot studies that evaluated combined rehabilitation and BTX treatment; and adverse events after BTX injection, including risk factors of neutralizing antibodies.
