AB  - Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common cause for secondary dystonia. Pharmacological treatment is often unsatisfactory or side effects are dose limiting. There is only limited data about the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with dyskinetic CP. A meta-analysis on the percentage change in the Burke-Fahn-Marsden dystonia rating scale (BFMDRS) revealed an improvement of 23% in patients with dyskinetic CP and DBS. In this study, we assessed the effect of pallidal DBS on dystonia, gait, speech, swallowing, and subjective perception of symptoms.
