Cerebral Palsy Procedures
Our cerebral palsy neurosurgeons offer the latest techniques and approaches for children who need surgery for cerebral palsy. Read more about these treatments in the Health section:
-
Baclofen Pump
A baclofen pump delivers a muscle relaxant directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, which helps manage muscle stiffness and spasms better than with baclofen taken by mouth.
-
Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy
Selective dorsal rhizotomy is a way to reduce muscle spasms and stiffness by cutting some of the sensory nerve fibers that carry sensation from the muscles to the spinal cord.
