Abstract

Spasticity is a clinical condition secondary to central nervous system damage, which impairs patients’ mobility and quality of life. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to the spinal roots responsible of the spasms might represent a non-invasive therapy. The present are the preliminary results of the first clinical use of this novel technique. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
