Efficacy of deutetrabanazine in the treatment of DCP being explored by Vanderbilt researchers
The Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt pediatric team and Vanderbilt University Medical Center Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology Division Chief Dr. Daniel Claassen joined forces with Teva Neuroscience to conduct clinical trials examining the effects of deutetrabenazine in pediatric DCP. Their groundbreaking research has the potential to eliminate significant obstacles in the development of treatments for children with DCP.
A unique approach to muscle and spasticity disorders
As the only hospital in Tennessee performing Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR), Monroe Carell is committed to a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to care for children living with increased muscle tightness and spasticity conditions. Our Spasticity Clinic provides patients and families convenient access to many related medical specialties under one roof.
One of the Largest Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy Programs in the Country
Selective dorsal rhizotomy is the only surgery that can potentially reduce spasticity permanently, and very few children's hospitals in the nation offer it.
For a decade, the team at Monroe Carell has served children in need of SDR with a host of wrap-around services pre- and post-op. Our collaborative approach with both parents and referring providers ensures that these children receive comprehensive care throughout their lives.
