Thread Name: MS-Baclofen pump--anyone have one?
Subject: RE: MS-Baclofen pump--anyone have one?
Hi Art

Baclofen pumps are used by sever children I hve worked with who have Cerebral Palsy with some extreme spasticity. The difference between these children when the medication is in use or when it isn't is quite incredible. They can eat soup with a spoon when the meds are working, when they arn't it takes a sipper cup.

I should state again they are children, I see no adults with pumps in my work but with kids the success is great.

I'll ask around the center tomorrow for you.
