Use of intrathecal baclofen in children and adolescents: interdisciplinary consensus table 2013.

چکیده
In recent years, intrathecal baclofen (ITB) has attained an important role in the treatment of severe spasticity and dystonia in children. There are principal differences between the use of ITB in children and its use in neurology and oncology in adults. Here, we present a consensus report on best practice for the treatment of severe spastic and dystonic movement disorders with ITB. Using a problem-orientated approach to integrate theories and methods, the consensus was developed by an interdisciplinary group of experienced ITB users and experts in the field of movement disorders involving 14 German centers. On the basis of the data pooled from more than 400 patients, the authors have summarized their experience and supporting evidence in tabular form to provide a concise, but still a comprehensive information base that represents our current understanding regarding ITB treatment options in children and adolescents.

Implantation of an intrathecal baclofen pump is recommended for children with cerebral palsy as a means to improve care and comfort when other options fail to control severe hypertonia. Making an assessment of a child's spasticity-related limitations in both routine care and activity is a necessary component of selection of intrathecal baclofen candidates.

Despite this widespread adoption, high quality evidence on the effects of intrathecal baclofen treatment o...
متن کاملThe effect of nifedipine and baclofen on spinal anesthesia induced by local anesthetics
The primary mode of action of local anesthetics is through sodium channel and axonal conduction blockade. Local anesthetics have also extensive effects on pre-synaptic calcium channels that must function to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters. Thus, interference with calcium channel conductance may enhance spinal anesthesia with local anesthetics. The present study was designed to invest...
