Abstract

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) after brain injury in children is associated with velocity dependent muscle stiffness and motor function impairment. Continuous intrathecal baclofen (cITB) is established for children with CP but the implantation of a baclofen pump is reserved for patients with severe symptoms refractory to oral drug management or with adverse side effects (ASEs) under high oral baclofen doses. The advantages of cITB are a low dose, a low rate of ASEs and improved muscle relaxation.
