Cerebellar stimulation for cerebral palsy.
Eight children with cerebral palsy, who had implanted cerebellar stimulators, were evaluated by a panel of six experienced physicians in a double-blind cross-over experiment with 3-week periods of real and sham stimulation. Neither the panel of physicians nor the patients could tell whether the stimulators were operating or not.
