Sometimes muscle relaxants are given or botulinum toxin is injected into certain muscles to reduce hypertonicity and relax the muscles, which can both help reduce pain associated with hypertonus and also help fit patients with specific orthotic braces.

有时为了降低肌张力放松肌肉，可对相应肌肉注射肌肉松弛剂或肉毒杆菌，这两种方法既可以减轻肌张力过高引起的疼痛，也能帮助患者适应矫正器。
