Summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the achievement of personalised short- and medium-term objectives of this selective treatment of hypertonia by ultrasound-guided perineural percutaneous cryoneurolysis at the shoulder and elbow, in a population of patients with cerebral palsy with spastic, dyskinetic or dyskinetic, or mixed disorders.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy (CP)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cryoneurlysis

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis (CN) is a new, minimally invasive approach that allows the treatment of hypertonia by reversibly blocking nerve conduction secondary to axonotmesis. Although this approach has shown promising results with real benefits in the management of spasticity, its efficacy has not been determined in CP. CN therefore represents a therapeutic alternative between toxin injections and radical surgery in the management of complex tone disorders in CP, for achieving individualised objectives, including pain relief.
