Abstract

To test the efficacy of intrathecal baclofen in various movement disorders, 18 patients with dystonia, head trauma, cerebral palsy, rigidity, or painful spasms underwent a trial of intrathecal baclofen. Ten went on to permanent implantation with an infusion pump to provide long‐term treatment. Patients with a component of spasticity, painful spasms, or focal dystonias did best, and no response was seen in patients with rigidity due to anoxic encephalopathy. A videotape of responses is provided.
