Spasticity

Displaying 3 studies

  • A Study of Serum Baclofen Levels in Patients with Intrathecal Baclofen Therapy Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to determine serum levels of baclofen in patients with spasticity managed with long-term intrathecal baclofen therapy. 

  • Pilot Study On Surgical Management Of Lower Extremity Spasticity Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of hyperselective neurectomies (HSN) and selective peripheral neurectomies (SPN) in reducing lower extremity spasticity in adult patients with traumatic brain injury, as measured by standardized clinical and functional assessments.

  • Management of Spastic Elbow Deformities Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of muscle-tendon lengthening procedures versus Hyperselective neurectomy (HSN) in decreasing elbow flexor spasticity and improving upper extremity function.

    Surgical management to alleviate upper limb spasticity traditionally rely on lengthening the muscle-tendon units which often require a period of joint immobilization and extensive post-operative rehabilitation.  HSN is an innovative procedure with early clinical evidence that has been shown to disrupt the heightened neural reflex arc that causes upper limb spasticity without the need for any post-operative rehabilitation.
