Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a permanent neurosurgical procedure indicated for the treatment of spasticity. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of SDR in managing spasticity in children with CP and as well as the efficacy of this therapy over time after the intervention using different scales.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive systematic search was conducted across several databases, spanning from inception to November 5, 2023.

The effect of SDR on spasticity, measured with the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) and the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), was significantly improved in children with lower limb spasticity. The efficacy of the treatment was significant up to 12 months posttreatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SDR has been demonstrated to be effective in treating children with CP.
