Baclofen There is no cure for<unk>  and no way to reverse the initial brain injury. However, various treatments and assistive devices can help mitigate pain and allow those affected to have a higher quality of life. Different combinations of treatments are right for each individual and are determined by individuals and their care team. Some common interventions are: * Physical therapy- exercises to develop balance and strength and to learn skills such as walking, rolling, or driving a wheelchair. * Occupational therapy- therapy to help an individual develop strategies to complete activities of daily living such as dressing, toileting, and bathing either independently or with a level of assistance that is safe and comfortable. * Orthotics- braces and splints to improve posture and positioning (usually on legs or arms). * Assistive devices- Wheelchairs, crutches, and walkers may help someone with<unk>  CP navigate safely. Different devices may be used in different settings or for longer distances. People with cerebral palsy may use up to 3-5 times the energy as those without when moving; thus, a device such as a wheelchair may reduce fatigue. * Speech therapy- Therapy to help someone speak more clearly, swallow more safely, or use a communication device such as a DynaVox * Medication- Certain medications can reduce stiffness from overactive muscles and decrease pain. Examples are botulinum toxin or baclofen, with the latter delivered orally or via an intrathecal pump. * Surgery- In some cases, orthopedic and/or neurological surgeries are recommended when pain and stiffness interfere with participation in meaningful activities and other treatments are not effective.
