No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of our work is to investigate whether electrical Lateral Cord Stimulation (LCS) causes an inhibitory and modulatory action by indirect cerebellar activation, so releasing spasticity and the spastic syndrome in selected cases of patients with cerebral palsy

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Spasticity

Interventions

DEVICE

Lateral spinal cord surgical implant of electrodes

The procedure is based on the classic approaches to posterior cervical region for herniated discs, actually not longer employed for that aim A unilateral hemilaminectomy will be performed at C3-C4 level, starting from 4th cervical spinous process. A multicontact electrode will be placed on the lateral surface of the spinal cord that will be subcutaneusly connected to an implanted pulse generator (IPG).
