Sponsor: Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust
Summary
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the medium to long-term outcomes (3-10 years) after Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) in ambulatory children and young people with cerebral palsy. The participants will complete a survey, come to hospital for some measurements and tests. Some parents and children and young people will also be invited to take part in an interview to understand their experiences of SDR.

Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy
Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) is an irreversible neurosurgical procedure where 50-70% of the sensory nerve roots are cut at the spinal level. The procedure is used to reduce lower limb spasticity permanently and is augmented by intensive rehabilitation for at least two years after surgery to optimise outcomes.
