Management of pain in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: a systematic review.

The strongest evidence exists for pharmacological treatments for postoperative pain in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). There is moderate evidence for the efficacy of intrathecal baclofen for pain related to hypertonia in predominately spastic CP. There is a lack of standardization in the assessment of pain. There is limited evidence for multimodal and non-pharmacological strategies in paediatric CP.
