Spinal cord hypothermia has significantly relieved muscle spasticity and rigidity in 5 patients with multiple sclerosis. This method of therapy is recommended before the use of surgical procedures producing irreversible changes in central neural structures, peripheral nerves, muscles and tendons.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
