PubMed Abstract of study to evaluate Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy for the reduction of spasticity in Cerebral Palsy: a randomized controlled trial

PubMed Abstract of observations that concluded that significant improvements were noted when comparing the two-electrode system with the new multiple level electrode. Marked to moderately improved patients increased from 57 to 84% in Cerebral Palsy, from 44 to 82% in dystonia, from 53 to 75% in torticollis and from 53 to 80% in Cystonia, from 53 to 80% in posttraumatic neurologic conditions

Information on Study sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Study completed and examined how the brain controls movements in patients with certain types of cerebral palsy. Last updated March 2008

Study being conducted to better understand how the brain controls movement, to learn more about movement disorders and to train movement disorder specialists.

Study to improve understanding of the pathophysiology of movement disorders by performing small behavioral, electrophysiological and neuroimaging substudies. This will allow identifying dysfunction of the central nervous system that causes behavioral abnormalities seen in movement disorder patients.

Study will collect information on the different ways people control limb and body movements. This information will be used to develop a database on normal movements and adaptive movements of people who have diseases that affect the way they move. The database will serve as a tool to improve diagnosis and treatment of patients with movement-related problems.

Information regarding ongoing study being sponsored by Hawaii Pacific Health to assess the predictive value of Generalized Movements for Early Prediction of Cerebral Palsy

NINDS sponsored study will evaluate patients with muscle stiffness for possible participation in current or future research studies. It will determine the cause of muscle stiffness or cramps and measure the severity of symptoms
