Are there any developments in the management of cerebral palsy? My son is 23 and has been on baclofen most of his life. currently takes 10mg twice a day and 20 mg at night. Recently he seems to be much stiffer than 6 months ago, being hard to manage and position. He has in the past had Botulinum toxin injections in his wrists and legs, and also a few operations on his adductors.
Hello understand your concerning now there is no curative treatment for cerebral palsy. Only treatment available is for relieving the spasticity and alter some behavior abnormalities. Effect of botulinum toxin last for 3-6 months only. And its need to be repeatedly injected after that period to get the best relief to spasticity. Few operations might have been tendon release or contracture relieving surgeries.
