페놀을 사용한 신경 차단술이 경직성 뇌성마비아동의 경직과 보행에 미치는 영향에 관한 정량적 연구 = A Quantitative Study on the Effect of Phenol Nerve Block on Spasticity and Gait in the Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The effectiveness of a peripheral nerve block with 7% phenol solution in children with spastic cerebral palsy was evaluated in 37children quantitatively. Kinematic and kinetic data as well as the clinical data were obtained in the computerized motion analysis laboratory before and after the nerve block. Dynamic electromyographic data was also collected from the muscles of the legs with the multichannel equipment before and after the blocking procedure.
Obturator and tibial nerves were most frequently blocked. All the measurement data obtained showed significant improvement of function after the nerve block with phenol until 3 months after the block. After 6 months. satisfactory outcome was maintained in 42.9% of the children.
The peripheral nerve block with 7% phenol solution is a effective and affordable method in the management of spasticity in the children with spastic paralysis in the carefully selected cases.
