Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy as a Cost Effective and Safe Procedure as a Alternative to Intrathecal Baclofen Pump in Patients With Post Traumatic Spasticity
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
The investigators will investigate the selective dorsal rhizotomy in post traumatic brain and spinal cord injury induced spasticity to evaluate the efficacy of this procedure in reducing the tone of the spastic muscle groups. Selective dorsal rhizotomy is well established effective procedure in participants with cerebral palsy associated spasticity. As low and middle income countries, intrathecal baclofen pump is expensive for patients.
