We must fully understand cerebral palsy (CP) symptoms to treat the disorder. Spastic hypertonia, a muscle impairment, prevents individuals from experiencing normal life. But it cannot be quantitatively evaluated for treatment. This grant develops a device that can measure the effects of spastic hypertonia. This pilot study involved using a portable device to evaluate reflex […]

Computed Tomography and Ultrasound Guided Cryoablation of the Salivary Glands in a Porcine Model (2014)


This research tested cryoablation to permanently resolve the drooling that so many people from cerebral palsy suffer from.  Previously, temporary treatments produced dry-mouth side effects which can lead to dental problems and discomfort.  New treatments desperately are needed.
