Long-term Outcomes of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy Among Individuals With Cerebral Palsy

Completed

Conditions studied: Cerebral Palsy

In brief

Spasticity affects up to 80% of individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a surgical method used by some hospitals to permanently reduce spasticity in order to prevent further morbidities. Better understanding of the long-term outcomes of SDR is essential for clinicians and families. The results of this study will have direct clinical impact by equipping providers with the necessary information to counsel families during medical decision making.
