摘要
Deep brain stimulation(DBS)has been used as a safe and effective neuromodulation technique for treatment of various diseases.A large number of patients suffering from movement disorders such as dyskinesia may benefit from DBS.Cerebral palsy(CP)is a group of permanent disorders mainly involving motor impairment,and medical interventions are usually unsatisfactory or temporarily active,especially for dyskinetic CP.DBS may be another approach to the treatment of CP.In this review we discuss the targets for DBS and the mechanisms of action for the treatment of CP,and focus on presurgical assessment,efficacy for dystonia and other symptoms,safety,and risks.
