AbstractThe use of percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) lesion adjacent to the dorsal root ganglion (RF-DRG) in the treatment of pain has been established for years. A relatively novel indication for RF-DRG treatment is spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. In this article the pathophysiology and management of spasticity is discussed with an emphasis on the role of RF-DRG. In the management of spasticity, RF-DRG could prove to be a little invasive treatment option with little adverse effects.
