Does Intrathecal Baclofen Therapy Increase Prevalence and/or Progression of Neuromuscular Scoliosis?
Retrospective, case-matched review. ⋯ We continue to recommend ITB pump therapy for individuals with severe spasticity associated with CP (GMFCS IV and V). There is a significant risk of complications for individuals in general. The risk of neuromuscular scoliosis is relatively high in this population. Our findings suggest that individuals with CP who have ITB pumps and who do or do not have preexisting scoliosis should be monitored closely for either developing new neuromuscular scoliosis or progression of preexisting scoliosis.
