Some studies have suggested that the pain experienced by these children may be poorly controlled or respond poorly to treatment. Limited research is available that addresses the treatment of pain due to spasms in children. Therefore, clinicians do not have empirical evidence to guide their decisions. Many current treatment options have not been tested for their effect on pain. Previous research has been guided more by the ability of these treatments to increase functional abilities. Pain also is an important indicator of quality of life; however, this has been overlooked in research.
