Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy of intrathecal baclofen therapy in children with intractable spastic cerebral palsy: a randomised controlled trial.
Intractable spasticity can be treated effectively with continuous infusion of intrathecal baclofen. Because evidence for its use in the treatment of children with spastic cerebral palsy is lacking, we conducted a randomised controlled trial. ⋯ The results of this randomised controlled trial establish continuous infusion of intrathecal baclofen to be effective in carefully selected children with problems caused by intractable spastic cerebral palsy.
