Cerebral Palsy
Effect of Designed Physical Training After Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy on Motor Function of Ambulant Children With Spastic Diplegia
The management of cerebral palsy is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Selective dorsal rhizotomy is a neurosurgical technique that aims to reduce spasticity in the lower limbs and improve motor function.
- Trial name
- NCT04997044
- Testing
- Concomitant physical rehabilitation, Standard Orthotic Management, selective dorsal rhizotomy
- Where
- Egypt
- Volunteers

Bilateral Cerebral Palsy
Effects of Physical Training Following Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy on Non-ambulant Children With Bilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Children with spastic bilateral cerebral palsy are late developers. delayed gross and fine motor development require early intervention to improve the child performance and avoid secondary impairments.

Trigeminal Neuralgia, Rhizotomy
Trigeminal Evoked Responses to Improve Rhizotomy
Trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) is a debilitating pain syndrome where electrical, shock- like jolts of pain affect the face. Trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials (TSEPs) provide a promising modality for measuring the trigeminal…

Cerebral Palsy
Long-term Outcomes of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy Among Individuals With Cerebral Palsy
Spasticity affects up to 80% of individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a surgical method used by some hospitals to permanently reduce spasticity in order to prevent further morbidities.

- NCT03789786
- Testing
- Gait and Motion Analysis, Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), Surveys
- Where
- 3 sites in United States
- Volunteers
- 78 people

Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Extended-release Epidural Morphine for Acute Post-operative Analgesia Following Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy in Children
The purpose of this proposal is to improve the investigators' current Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) analgesia protocol by eliminating or minimizing the use of fentanyl in the post-operative period.

Trigeminal Neuralgia
A Study of Patient Reported Outcomes After Stereotactic Radiosurgical Rhizotomy for Trigeminal Neuralgia
The investigators know little about how patients feel following radiosurgery treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Patient satisfaction may ultimately be one of the most important outcome measures for an individual patient; however…
