Chronic cerebellar stimulation in cerebral palsy.

This report summarizes the experience with chronic cerebellar stimulation in cerebral palsy patients at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. From July, 1977, to September, 1978, 12 patients suffering from cerebral palsy underwent cerebellar implant for chronic cerebellar stimulation. Postoperative evaluation was made approximately 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery by a group of specialists using speech, respiration, muscle tone, involuntary movements, salivation, and activities of daily living as parameters, and these findings were compared with the findings prior to surgery. Chronic cerebellar stimulation did not noticeably alleviate symptoms and signs of cerebral palsy nor did it improve activities of daily living in a significant number of patients.
