Spasticity, abnormal movements and cerebral palsy
Neuronal behavior and brain functions are regulated by various highly complex brain circuits. Disorders in these circuits can lead to functional movement disorders, epilepsy, pain, memory disorders, and psychiatric illnesses. Functional Neurosurgery helps restore these functions by isolating, resecting, or modulating these altered neuronal circuits using highly complex neurosurgical techniques. Its objective is to recover a lost function or restore an altered one, giving the child a new balance that contributes to improving their quality of life.
Using modern neuromodulation and stereotaxy techniques, we can treat a wide range of pathologies: abnormal movements (spasticity, Parkinson's disease, tremor), epilepsy, pain, psychiatric illnesses, among others.
Neurofunctional procedures are characterized by controlling symptoms and eliminating or reducing disabilities, in an attempt to help the patient regain their autonomy and thus enable their psychosocial rehabilitation.
Our team has extensive experience in the management and treatment of spasticity, abnormal movements, and functional pathologies. We work with other specialists as part of a first-class multidisciplinary team and in health centers with the most modern technological resources for diagnosis and treatment.
