Intrathecal baclofen for motor disorders
Mov Disord.
1995 Sep.
Abstract
To test the efficacy of intrathecal baclofen in various movement disorders, 18 patients with dystonia, head trauma, cerebral palsy, rigidity, or painful spasms underwent a trial of intrathecal baclofen. Ten went on to permanent implantation with an infusion pump to provide long-term treatment. Patients with a component of spasticity, painful spasms, or focal dystonias did best, and no response was seen in patients with rigidity due to anoxic encephalopathy. A videotape of responses is provided.
